Basic arithmetic calculations

The .math() function may be used in conjunction with standard Arithmetic Operators to create calculations based on numeric properties in Orgvue data

When combined with the Format() function the results of the calculation can be formatted as required

important

It should be noted that using format() on a number will also convert it to a string For this reason the use of one of the Precision methods .round(), .ceil(), .floor() or .trunc() should be considered best practice

Add Two Properties

Two number properties may be added together to create a new property for use in data analysis

node.math("CurrentSalary+CurrentBonus")

Calculate Percentage

Division and multiplication can be combined to provide percentages

node.math("CurrentBonus/CurrentSalary*100")

Calculate and Format Result

Results are returned with up to 17 decimal places shown

Putting .format() at the end lets you shorten the value into the desired format, e.g. .format("0.0") will return 7.2

node.math("CurrentBonus/CurrentSalary*100").format("0.0")

note

Using .format() returns a string. To return the result as a number use the .round() function

Calculate and Round Result

Using .round() returns a number rounded to specified places rather than a string

node.math("CurrentBonus/CurrentSalary*100").round(2)

Calculate with Relationship Properties

It is possible to combine .math() with Relationship Operators such as c, s, p and d and Aggregators to perform calculations too

node.math("CurrentSalary/s.CurrentSalary.avg*100")
