Every now and then, the sum of all percentages on a pie chart adds up to either 99% or 101%. Is there a way to direct webfocus to round it up or down to strict 100%?

Mike,
The problem is probably the FORMAT of the data you are using for your pie chart.

If you are using D (decimal) as your format it is stored (and used) internally as scientific notation and you occasionally pick a some stray information out in the 10+ position. When you sum up all the D fields you end up being off by 1-2 due to this floater. You will also see this on reports that do averages or percents with lots of data.

P (packed) & I (integer) FORMATs store, and are used, as the exact number. I would recommend P since the values can be large and you can have decimal places.

Hope this helps,
Michelle

I tried P15 and P15.2. Neither did help. Interger I10 is too small to use.
