All, I have a results slide which pulls in data from several other results slide. The problem is that the results percentage is showing the percentage with decimal points. From a cosmetic point of view I would like the percentage rate to be rounded up or down to the nearest full number. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance Rich

I found this thread while looking for a solution to the same problem. What I did: 1. Insert a numerical variable called myScore2. Insert a trigger on the results slide adjusting myScore to the value of the Results.ScorePercent. 3. Insert a new trigger to Execute JavaScript when the timeline starts 4. Click on the … button, and insert the code below into the panel that opens var player = GetPlayer();var score = player.GetVar("myScore");player.SetVar("myScore", Math.round(score)); 5. Now edit your Results slide text to display %myScore% instead of %Results.ScorePercent% as below. Job done :) Tony C

No problem Mike :) I should have added that if you use: player.SetVar("Results.ScorePercent", Math.round(score)); as well it will pass the same rounded figure to the LMS, for some reason, I coudn't get the Results variable to update... TC

I have some javascript code that may probably work for this scenario. Take the code and put it into an Javascript executable trigger on the results page and have it start first. var player = GetPlayer();var score = player.GetVar("Results.ScorePercent");var n = score.toFixed(0);player.SetVar("Results.ScorePercent", n);The non javascript workaround can be messy in your triggers pane on the results slide. However, here is another solution. Maybe someday Articulate will make a consideration and have decimals as an option.

Hi Rebecca, Sorry I can't open a SL3 package.I have attached a very basic example of this from SL1, the results slide is where all the JavaScript has been added. Hope that helps.TC

Thanks for popping in with your suggestions Pauly :)

Results Slide Percent no Decimal Points

Hi Leslie, I used Mike's Decimal word document so I did not use javascript. So it would be awesome if you can take a look. Mike's decimal document is about three posts up from my downloads. So would like to see if someone can troubleshoot for sure. Thanks Teresa

Hi Tony,

I understand.

Are you running into trouble with this as well? Please feel free to share your project file with our support engineers to investigate what's happening. You can share it privately by uploading it here. It will be deleted when troubleshooting is complete.

Thanks for the update, Teresa. Please feel free to reach out via the link shared above and one of our support engineers can dive in for you.

I'd share a link to this conversation as well so that they will be all up-to-date on the solutions covered here as well as Mike's solution.

I'm really surprised Storyline still doesn't round up percentages by default, even with the requests for this feature going back 6-7 years.

It's an industry standard in elearning courses, and is an issue raised again and again by our many clients.

  Hi Karen - It would appear this is still an issue.
  
  The previous fixes mentioned do no seem to work anymore. I think it has some thing to do with SL360 not allowing the user to edit built in variables such as Results.ScorePercent.
  
  The easy solution I have found is to use the java script mentioned on page 1 of this thread but you have to make a custom variable first, which you set its value to that of Results.ScorePercent then modify the new variable with the javascript.
  
  I have attached a grab of my triggers from SL and below is the javascript I have used:
  
  var player = GetPlayer();
  var score = player.GetVar("ResultsScorePercentRounded");
  var n = score.toFixed(0);
  player.SetVar("ResultsScorePercentRounded", n);
  
  I hope this helps anyone else who comes across this issue down the line.

    Thanks @jack Keena - I had this come up today for a client and this works perfectly in SL360!

Thanks @jack Keena and all those who provided clues along the way to get it to work. I've used the JavaScript option under SL360.

I too would love to see this built into the SL software. I had 2 variables that needed rounding on the results page. Straight up, this should be taken care of by SL.
