Hi everyone. I'm trying to do a modulo calculation on 2 decimals. Obviously the modulo function doesn't work. I've found knowledgebase article P80755 which doesn't help much.
It suggests using
x - (x / y) * y
But surely (x/y) * y evaluates to x, leaving you with x-x, so therefore 0.
Even if we change it to
(x - (x / y)) * y
we get for example for 3 % 2
(3 - (3 / 2)) * 2.
(3 - 1.5) * 2.
1.5 * 2
3.
Which is also wrong.
So can anyone point me int he direction of a modulo function that would return me
3.75 % 7.5 = 3.75
and
16 % 7.5 = 1
etc
As I would expect it to?
