Hi everyone,

I have an issue with the color formatting for Formula Feilds displayed as progress bars, it seems buggy:
With decimal percentages the conditions are not recognized properly, I have the following conditions on a field

but the results are unfortunately wrong for values that are near the "breakpoints".

Any suggestions?

Thanks

In my sample the formula for the percent field (named percent) is similar, 

Done/Target
For the bar it just 
percent-.0049

Hi @loewe,

I've tried it, seem like color condition apparently can only handle integers.
It is a regret.

Seems like I'm nitpicking, but it's a rounding limitation rather than an integer limitation (49% is actually .49 not 49).  Taking that into consideration, if you can display the percent figure separate from the bar, then adjust the formula for the bar to something like percent-.0049 you should get the desired color.  In the sample below 50% is the cutoff for the color changing from red to yellow, so the original on the left is incorrect, the adjustment on the right is correct.

Thanks @Sho and @BillH for your reply.

@BillH I'm not sure about how to go to do that. Can you please provide the formula you input in the new field?

My field is a simple x/y operation, formatted as percentage and displayed as bar.

Thanks

I was confused and deleted my earlier post...

I see, so you mean subtract 0.0049
Excellent solution!

Thanks @BillH 

although I must say that'd be better if the field would work as expected instead of implementing this workaround😅

Thanks gain and have a great day

I'm glad it worked.  I agree it would be far better if the field worked correctly, but then again, if everything worked as well as expected a lot of us would be unemployed.
