n7mafia Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I have a calculation that goes like that, I input a number on "Base Imponibile" (say 100), it adds 15% (it gets me 115), it then calculates 4% to the previous result (115) and it gets me 4,60, I then add 2 and the total is 121,60 which is perfect. And that's the part that works just fine. But I then want to make a reverse calculation, where I input the expected result of Total Calculation and tells me all the other values and here it's where things go awry. Quote Input Field of Total Calculation: 121,60 Calculation 2 removes 4% from the previous field => (wTotale-(wTotale*100/104)) 4,68 (and here it is the first error, it is supposed to return 4,60) Calculation 1 calculates 15% of the yet unknown "Base Imponibile" field => (wTotale-wCPA)-wBaseImponibile 16,74 (and here it ss the second error, it is supposed to return 15,00) Calculation 3 it is supposed to calculate the last value "Base Imponibile" => wTotale-2-(wTotale-(wTotale*100/119)) 100,18 (and here it is the third error, since it is supposed to return 100,00) I'm attaching the initial calculation that works as a reference and the reverse calculation which doesn't work as an example. The "2" that gets subtracted in the reverse calculation is a fixed value of a small tax that I have to deduct (imposta di bollo). I have a feeling that the reverse calculation goes crazy because of some unwanted rounding somewhere, but I am not to sure, so I seek the opinion of more calculation versed persons around.

Only, I was wondering, can the LIST part be delegated to single fields instead of having one big field with all the results? So for instance have a field that lists separately A, B, C, etc taking the input from the previous calculation with the LET function? Otherwhise instead of getting for instance Quote 100,00 15,00 4,60 I get this Quote 100154,60 Also, for some reasons I can tell FM to add the mandatory 2 decimals only for the last number while the first two results are 100 and 15 rather than 100,00 and 15,00 Edited December 22, 2020 by Mafia2020

The list was just a convenient way of showing how to calculate all parts at once. You can easily split this to individual fields - for example: Let ( [ a = Input - 2 ; b = a / 1.04 ] ; a - b ) will return 4.6 in your example. Edited December 22, 2020 by comment

Thank you for your patience and pointers, it now works exactly as I intended to.
