progress calculation

[freecolours]

It's late and I still need to do a lot of dev work..... and my brain starts leaving me... who can relay to that sometimes....

I can't figure out this calculation.... I have two global number fields, say _gnr1 = 3500 and _gnr2 = 3450. Now I need to know how much percentage _gnr2 is from _gnr1.

I use this in a progress function, so I loop the _gnr2 down to 1. This means that I need to start with 1% and end with 100%.

Who can help me out?

Int(_gnr2 / _gnr1 * 100)

Ray, you're just to good to be true!

But now the counter goes from 99% down to 1%, and I would like to have it the other way around.... ehhh, any suggestions?

OK, gotcha.

Int((_gnr1 - _gnr2) / _gnr1 * 100)

or

100 - Int(_gnr2 / _gnr1 * 100)

Either will do...

YES, YES, YES!! Very nice! I'll gonna use this a lot, so I'm thrilled to get every bit out of this calculation!

Thanks a lot again, Ray!

Time for me now to...
