Hi,

div(dividend: number, divisor: number)

In my case, dividend number is 4 and and divisor is 8. The expected result value is 0.5, but PA is returning 0 (zero). Is there any reason or is it a bug ? I'm using both values in variables

Here is the expression I used.

div(int(outputs('Total_projects')),int(outputs('project_committed_one')))

The function is working fine if the dividend value is greater than divisor.

Can you please guide here?

Hi @Niraj466,

Try using a float instead of an int function. This should return 0.5.

Try this expression instead:

div(float(outputs('Total_projects')),float(outputs('project_committed_one')))
