Error when calculating via Automation. Too many numbers or variables

[Alexander]

When creating a new task through Automation, the data should be calculated using the formula:
{{# =}} ({{issue.field_1}} * 0.4 + {{issue.field_2}} * 0.5 + {{issue.field_3}} * 0.6) / {{issue.field_4} } * 100{{/}}

Where fields 1-4 are filled in when creating a task

Gives an error message :
Error rendering smart-values when executing this rule:
Too many numbers or variables: (2 * 0.4 + 1 * 0.5 + 3 * 0.6) / 4 * 100

Where did I go wrong?

Hi @Alexander 

Please follow the following change and please let me know if this works

({{issue.field_1}} * 0.4 + {{issue.field_2}} * 0.5 + {{issue.field_3}} * 0.6) / {{issue.field_4}} * 100

Thanks,

Hi @Pramodh M !

This works, but it will only output incorrect data: instead of, for example, "0.011142857" it produces "111.429"

Fields 1-4 are of type  "Select List (single choice)"
Field 5, where data is output  "Number Field"

Could it matter?

Well, since your input is a number, you can have Fields 1-4 as number fields. Well, it should work for the Single select list as well. Divide it by a hundred and we will get the result, I do not guarantee about the decimal places it results in,

(({{issue.field_1}} * 0.4 + {{issue.field_2}} * 0.5 + {{issue.field_3}} * 0.6) / {{issue.field_4}} * 100) / 100

Thanks,

FYI, Divide it by a thousand!

[Alexander]

I think it should be divided by ten thousand, but somehow this is not correct ((

[Pramodh M]

Sorry for the mistake, here's the correct one.

(({{issue.num_field_1}} * 0.4 + {{issue.num_field_2}} * 0.5 + {{issue.num_field_3}} * 0.6) / {{issue.num_field_4}} * 100 / 10000)

[Pramodh M]

Can you please send me the screenshot of the math solution by one example. BODMAS is hitting here! we may solve this with fewer operations..

[Alexander]

Here it works:

({{issue.num_field_1}} * 0.4 + {{issue.num_field_2}} * 0.5 + {{issue.num_field_3}} * 0.6) / {{issue.num_field_4}} * 100 / 10000

Great!
