Calculating percentage of progress bar

Hi all, I’m trying to calculate a percentage for a progress bar I’ve added.

However when I try to do my calculation, it doesn’t reflect in the progress bar.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Whenever I try to format the number as a percentage it says that it evaluates to text, when I want it to be a number.

The Bubble progress bar just needs a number between 0 and 100. If it’s text you can just do :converted to number after it. Just make sure you have a number between 0 and 100 meaning you might need to take a count of something and divide it by something else?

Thanks for replying @tylerboodman

I’m trying to find converted to number but I don’t have the option. Is it because of the fact that I typed 10 in it’s treating it as text? If so, is there a way I can turn the 10 in to a number?

Looks like it’s a number already, it’s still going red when you leave it like you have it?

Also if your goal is to show how many Subjects they’ve made, 9 being 90%, I think you need a * 100:floor after. I like to enable the paranthesis in the app settings so you can be sure it’s doing what you want so you can force something like ((Subjects/10) * 100):floor

The :floor would be overkill here but if you raise that 10 to a different number you could have something like 10.33333333% so that would reduce it cleanly to 10%

Hey @findlaterapps

use “Arbitrary text” expression and convert to number.
