Usage
((percentage|numerator|denominator|decimals to round to (zero or greater)))
Limitations
Figures smaller than 0.0001% are shown in scientific notation.
Examples
((Percentage | 1 | 3 | 0 ))yields 33%((Percentage | 1 | 3 | 2 ))yields 33.33%
Negative values can be used:
((Percentage | -1 | 3 ))yields -33%
Normal operation is to cut off all decimal zeroes from right in rounding:
((Percentage | 1 | 5 | 2 ))yields 20%((Percentage | 1111 | 10000 | 4 ))yields 11.11%
Add |pad=yes to always get as many decimals as specified, padding with zeroes where needed:
((Percentage | 1 | 5 | 2 | pad=yes ))yields 20.00%((Percentage | 1111 | 10000 | 4 | pad=yes ))yields 11.1100%
Third parameter can also be given through |pad=N:
((Percentage | 111 | 1000 | pad=4 ))is same as((Percentage | 111 | 1000 | 4 | pad=yes ))and yields 11.1000%
Default denominator is 100:
((Percentage | 20 ))yields 20%
Default precision is zero:
((Percentage | 1 | 3 ))yields 33%
Override the percent symbol
((Percentage | 1 | 3 | % = percent))yields 33 percent
Use a prescribed number of significant figures
((Percentage | 1 | 4000 | sigfig = 3))yields 0.0250%
Use a prescribed number of significant figures with small percentages
((Percentage | 1 | 40000000 | sigfig = 3))yields 00%
Use a prescribed number of significant figures with small percentages without scientific notation
((Percentage | 1 | 40000000 | sigfig = 3 | nonscinote = y))yields 00%
Use a prescribed number of significant figures with large percentages
((Percentage | 40000000 | 2 | sigfig = 3))yields 2.00×109%
Use a prescribed number of significant figures with large percentages without scientific notation
((Percentage | 40000000 | 2 | sigfig = 3 | nonscinote = y))yields 2000000000%
Dividing by zero will result in "nan" (undefined)
((Percentage | 0 | 0 | 0 ))yields nan%
TemplateData
TemplateData for Percentage
Calculates and displays a percentage value.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Numerator | 1 | The Numerator of the calculated value. The percentage will be calculated as Numerator divided by Denominator. Use of comma as a thousands separator is optional. | Number | required |
| Denominator | 2 | The Denominator of the calculated value. The percentage will be calculated as Numerator divided by Denominator. Use of comma as a thousands separator is optional. Can be left out, in which case 100 will be used as the Denominator, and the Numerator will be the direct percentage used.
| Number | suggested |
| Decimals | 3 | Number of decimals to round to (zero or greater); if pad is not Yes, 0-digits will be cropped from the end.
| Number | optional |
| Pad / actual number of digits | pad | If yes, use all digits given in Decimals. If a number, pad to that number of decimals. | String | optional |
| Significant figures | sigfig | If set to a positive integer, the precision of the returned number will be adjusted to match the requested number of significant figures. | Number | optional |
| % replacement | % | Replacement for % symbol
| String | optional |
