Wrong percentage calculation in iPad but not in PC

Posted on by carlob 6

Hi to everyone,

I had a weird error in one of the apps I created. The App calculates the percentages well when I open it on my PC:

But when I open my app on my iPad, the calculation is totally wrong:

I'm getting that value from a calculated column of a SPO list. (Workload)

I am using the following formula in the Gallery of the App:  

 

"Current Workload: " & Text(Value(ThisItem.Workload)*100,"0.00" & " %")

 

Can anyone give a hand on it?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

    @carlob 

    Whilst your formula should work correctly in both, I would suspect the error is coming from the fact you are using a Calculated column in PowerApps. There are plenty of post bemoaning the use of these fields in PowerApps if you go looking.

     

    I lieu of another solution, I'd suggest you don't use that field/data type in your app.

     

    EDIT: This @timl article does the same as you have done so maybe it's regional settings in both devices?

    Hi EddieE,
    Thanks for your help. You are right, my app considers the calculated column in the SPO list as a text field. I just took the values from the older fields and calculated the workload directly in the app.

     

    Thanks again.
