Math - Takes Out First Set Of Parentheses In |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is trying to use the formula (f+d)/(c-e)*100 in his Table Math. WordPerfect keeps changing the formula to f+d/(c-e)*100 without the first set of parentheses. Solutions: The reason the parentheses are deleted is because the Math feature calculates from left to right. Since the (f+d) is first in the formula, WP does not need the parentheses to tell it to calculate that amount first. If the formula was changed to 100*(f+d)/(c-e), WP would not take out the parentheses because it would need to know to add first. Another customer wanted to have the following formula in Table Math: b4*b1+c4*c1. When the customer entered this formula, the calculation was incorrect. The customer corrected the problem by putting parentheses around parts of the formula, which is how most spreadsheets work also, (b4*b1)+(c4*1). |
