Calculate percentage 1

[perryair]

Hi,
I am using asp code in order to calculate non integer number.. any iday what the correct syntax is?

10 should be 10.5%

<%= formatNumber((intTotal * .10), 2) %>

Many Thanks...

didnt understand the question completely...try using cdbl() function for the floating numbers...

Try making a separate simple ASP like this below to help debug and figure out how floating points are handled.

<%
x = 22 / 7
Response.Write "With function: "FormatNumber(x, 2) & "<BR>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "Without: " & x
%>

Sorry, I did not understand both of you..
It should be very simple.. instead of 10 I would like to make it 10.5, does anyone know what is the syntax?

Oh, perhaps I didn't understand the question.

Are you asking how to calculate 10.5% of a value?

X = Y * .105

10 should be 10.5%

<%= formatNumber((intTotal * .10), 2) %>

I assume that 10.5% should be the result of the formula you have above. Simply take your calculation and, instead of using FormatNumber as you have, use FormatPercent instead. For more help on this, try MSDN
