I have this measure called [YoY ppt (Market Share)], and the customer wants to see : "0.2 ppt" in the field. Number, one decimal place, with the string " ppt" attached. How do I obtain this?
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Market Sales % CY] AS NULL, VISIBLE = 1, Display_Folder = 'Calcs';
SCOPE([Measures].[Market Sales % CY]);
This = (([Measures].[Market Share %],[Version].[Version].&[Actual]));
END SCOPE;
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Market Sales % PY] AS NULL, VISIBLE = 1, Display_Folder = 'Calcs';
SCOPE([Measures].[Market Sales % PY]);
This = ([Measures].[Market Share %],[Version].[Version].&[Actual PY]);
END SCOPE;
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[YoY ppt (Market Share)] AS NULL, VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Measures].[YoY ppt (Market Share)]);
This = CASE WHEN ISEMPTY([Measures].[Market Sales % PY]) OR ISEMPTY([Measures].[Market Sales % CY]) THEN NULL
ELSE ([Measures].[Market Sales % CY] * 100 - [Measures].[Market Sales % PY] * 100)
END;
--FORMAT_STRING(This) = "Percent";
FORMAT_STRING(This) = "Fixed"; -- to be changed to "0.0 ppt"
END SCOPE;
Does this work?
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[YoY ppt (Market Share)] AS NULL
, VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Measures].[YoY ppt (Market Share)]);
This =
CASE WHEN ISEMPTY([Measures].[Market Sales % PY])
OR ISEMPTY([Measures].[Market Sales % CY]) THEN NULL
ELSE ([Measures].[Market Sales % CY] * 100 - [Measures].[Market Sales % PY] * 100)
END;
END SCOPE;
SCOPE([Measures].[YoY ppt (Market Share)]);
FORMAT_STRING(this) = "0.0 \p\p\t";
END SCOPE;

I'm designing a software that does basic payroll for a school project. I'm stuck on this one part where I have to figure out what the federal tax will be based on the employee salary. This is the chart that tells you the rate of the tax based on salary range.
I tried this code,
Dim federaltaxrate As Integer
Dim federaltax = (salary.Text * federaltaxrate)
If salary.Text >= 0 Then
If salary.Text <= 50 Then
federaltaxrate = 0
End If
ElseIf salary.text <= 500 Then
If salary.Text >= 50 Then
federaltaxrate = 0.1
End If
ElseIf salary.text <= 2500 Then
If salary.Text >= 500 Then
federaltaxrate = 45 + 0.15 * salary.Text - 500
End If
ElseIf salary.text <= 5000 Then
If salary.Text >= 2500 Then
federaltaxrate = 345 + 0.2 * salary.Text - 2500
End If
ElseIf salary.text >= 5000 Then
federaltaxrate = 845 + 0.25 * salary.Text - 5000
End If
Else
End If
I have a listbox that shows other information as well but this is what I used to show the calculated info in the listbox.
ListBox1.Items.Add("Federal Tax: $" + federaltax.ToString)
When I run this code and input in a random salary, the federal tax shows up as 0.
Do I need to convert the salary into weekly gross pay, if so how would I go on about writing the code that finds the federal tax rate based on the salary and it's range.
You might be having trouble with order of precedence of the arithmetic operations. I think a Select Case is cleaner.
Private Function GetFederalTax(GrossPay As Decimal) As Decimal
Dim FederalTax As Decimal
Select Case GrossPay
Case < 50
FederalTax = 0
Case < 500
FederalTax = CDec((GrossPay - 51) * 0.1)
Case < 2500
FederalTax = CDec(((GrossPay - 500) * 0.15) + 45)
Case < 5000
FederalTax = CDec(((GrossPay - 2500) * 0.2) + 345)
Case Else
FederalTax = CDec(((GrossPay - 5000) * 0.25) + 845)
End Select
Return FederalTax
End Function
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim grossPay As Decimal
If Decimal.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, grossPay) Then
Dim tax = GetFederalTax(grossPay)
Debug.Print($"Gross {grossPay} Tax {tax}")
ListBox1.Items.Add(String.Format("Federal Tax {0}, Gross Pay {1}", tax, grossPay)) '***EDIT***
Else
MessageBox.Show("Please enter a valid number.")
End If
End Sub
The sample test produced the following in the Immediate Window.
Gross 45 Tax 0
Gross 700 Tax 75
Gross 8000 Tax 1595
Gross 2501 Tax 345.2
Gross 2800 Tax 405
Firstly, your Boolean logic is all wrong. If the salary value was 51, you'd satisfy the first outer condition (>= 0) and then fail the first inner condition (<= 50). There would not be any further comparisons performed - which you would know if you'd debugged - so no tax calculation would ever be performed.
Secondly, your calculations are OK but you're misusing the results. Those calculation get the amount of tax to be paid, not the rate. The rates are 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%, which are already contained in your calculations. Get rid of that second variable and just assign the results of appropriate calculations to the one variable.
I would do it like this:
Dim salaryAmount = CDec(salary.Text)
Dim taxAmount As Decimal = Decimal.Zero
If salaryAmount > 5000D Then
taxAmount = 845D + 0.25D * (salaryAmount - 5000D)
ElseIf salaryAmount > 2500D Then
taxAmount = 345D + 0.2D * (salaryAmount - 2500D)
ElseIf salaryAmount > 500D Then
taxAmount = 45D + 0.15D * (salaryAmount - 500D)
ElseIf salaryAmount > 50D Then
taxAmount = 0.1D * (salaryAmount - 50D)
End If
'Use taxAmount here.
This uses appropriate data types throughout, i.e. it does not perform arithmetic on String values and it uses Decimal for currency values. The D suffix on the literals forces them to be type Decimal rather than Integer or Double.
It also works from biggest to smallest to simplify the Boolean expressions.
The Nested If should be combined like below as it is missing few cases
If salary.Text >= 0 And salary.Text <= 50 Then
federaltaxrate = 0
ElseIf salary.text <= 500 And salary.Text >= 50 Then
federaltaxrate = 0.1
ElseIf salary.text <= 2500 AND salary.Text >= 500 Then
federaltaxrate = 45 + 0.15 * salary.Text - 500
End If
I am having issues trying to make a calculator that accurately calculates deposits plus the amount of interest that is added monthly. I dont know how to incorporate a loop that can add monthly deposits to total deposits, then adds the total deposits plus total interest times the interest rate / 100 / 12 to the total deposits. Here is what I have so far. Sorry am super new to VB !
Dim intMonthlyDeposit As Interger
Dim intMonthsTotal As Integer
Dim intAnnualRate As Interget
Dim decTotalDeposits As Decimal
Dim decTotalInterest As Decimal
Dim decTotalTotal As Decimal
Try
intMonthlyDeposit = CInt(txtMonthlyDeposits.Text)
intMonthsTotal = CInt(txtMonths.Text)
decAnnualRate = CDec(txtAnnualRate.Text)
decTotalDeposits = 0
decTotalInterest = 0
decTotalTotal = 0
decTotalDeposits = decMonthlyDeposit * intMonthsTotal
decTotalInterest = decTotalDeposits * (decAnnualRate / 100)
decTotalTotal = decTotalDeposits + decTotalInterest
lblTotDeposit.Text = decTotalDeposits.ToString("C")
lblTot.Text = decTotalTotal.ToString("C")
lblTotInterest.Text = decTotalInterest.ToString("C")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Enter a Valid Number")
End Try
End Sub
This is how I implemented the loop for calculating total interest and total deposits correctly.
For index As Integer = 1 To intMonthsTotal Step 1
decTotalDeposits += decMonthlyDeposit
decTotalInterest += (decTotalDeposits + decTotalInterest) * ((decAnnualRate / 100) / 12)
I'm a first year programming student and am trying to make a mortgage payment calculator. Users enter their loan amount and interest rate, select 15 or 30 years for the term length, and their monthly payment should be calculated. I think the math is correct, but I think I'm running into problems with converting data types. The only result I'm able to calculate is "Infinity". I've also tried declaring all variables as Doubles, but no difference.
Below is the piece of code I'm having trouble with, and Option Strict On is included in the full code. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Dim decLoanAmount As Decimal
Dim decInterestRate As Decimal
Dim decFifteen As Decimal = 180D
Dim decThirty As Decimal = 360D
Dim decNumberOfMonths As Decimal
Dim dblPayment As Double
Dim decPayment As Decimal
' Did user enter a numeric value?
If IsNumeric(txtLoanAmount.Text) And IsNumeric(txtInterestRate.Text) Then
decLoanAmount = Convert.ToDecimal(txtLoanAmount.Text)
decInterestRate = Convert.ToDecimal(txtInterestRate.Text)
' Is Loan Amount greater than zero?
If decLoanAmount > 0 And decInterestRate > 0 Then
If radFifteen.Checked = True Then
decNumberOfMonths = decFifteen
ElseIf radThirty.Checked = True Then
decNumberOfMonths = decThirty
End If
' Calculate the monthly payments as a double
dblPayment = (decLoanAmount * (decInterestRate / 12 / 100) * (1 + (decInterestRate / 12 / 100) _
^ decNumberOfMonths)) / ((1 + (decInterestRate / 12 / 100) ^ decNumberOfMonths) - 1)
' Convert double to decimal
decPayment = Convert.ToDecimal(decPayment)
' Display monthly payment
lblPayment.Text = decPayment.ToString("C2")
Else
If decLoanAmount < 0 Then
MsgBox("Please enter a valid loan amount.", , "Input error")
End If
If decInterestRate < 0 Then
MsgBox("Please enter a valid interest rate.", , "Input error")
End If
End If
Else
' Display error message if user entered a negative value.
MsgBox("Please enter a numeric value.", , "Input Error")
End If
End Sub
Based on the Wikipedia formula, you aren't doing it correctly. It should look something like this:
dblPayment = (decLoanAmount * (decInterestRate / (12 * 100))) / (1 - (1 + (decInterestRate / (12 * 100))) ^ (-decNumberOfMonths))
Also, this line is weird
decPayment = Convert.ToDecimal(decPayment)
Should be
decPayment = Convert.ToDecimal(dblPayment)
I need to make an auto loan calculator that is only able to calculate 2.3% interest for 84 months. I've never made a calculator that didn't allow a user to input these amounts, so how do I code that part of the calc?
Dim res As Decimal = 100 ' Current value
Dim interest As Decimal = 1.89 / 100 ' 1.89%
For i As Integer = 1 To 89 'Months
Dim amr As Decimal = res * interest
res += amr
Next
MsgBox(res)
Depends on what you want to calculate.. Monthly paiement, equity, what is left to pay ?
Here's the formula to calculate the monthly paiement of a loan
Dim monthlyPaiement As Decimal
Dim loanAmount As Decimal
Dim interestRate As Decimal
Dim loanLengthInMonth As Decimal
loanAmount = 25000
interestRate = 1.9 / 100
loanLengthInMonth = 84
interestRate /= 12 ' Divide by number of month in a year
monthlyPaiement = loanAmount * ((1 + interestRate) ^ loanLengthInMonth) * interestRate / (((1 + interestRate) ^ loanLengthInMonth) - 1)
So I have a pretty simple UDF written in visual basic for use in excel. It calculates your approx. taxes. Lets say I use it as such:
=Taxes(I23-I18,I24-I20,"Married")
If I type this in it works great. Now if I save the sheet and restart excel the cell now says #VALUE! If I select the formula and hit enter once again it recalculates it fine. What am I doing wrong? Application.Volatile shouldn't be needed but I was trying ideas...

Your UDF's look OK, apart from using Currency data types (probably should be using doubles or variants since that is what Excel uses).
The usual reason for getting #Value with a UDF is that one of the input arguments cannot be converted to the correct type. If your input cells do not contain numeric values when the workbook opens you would get #Value. This might be caused by calculation sequence problems resulting in one of the upstream precedent cells being uncalculated the first time the function is called. Try declaring the input parameters as variant rather than currency and add some temporary debug.print statements to show the input parameters in the Immediate window.
