Tolerance for difference

The Indicator component has a field to set the "tolerance for difference". How should that number be interpreted? I have a variable that shows a very small difference from baseline (i.e., 0.02%). I DO NOT want the indicator to show that as an increment. But I have experimented with setting the tolerance to an extremely small value (i.e., = 0.000001) as well as a very large value (i.e., = 1) and in both cases the indicator still displayed as an increment.
I would like anything lower than 0.05 to display as unchanged. But neither that value, nor either of the far extremes made a difference. Any clues? Bobby |

Hi Bobby,
What we do is the following: a = first value b = second value 1. For Equals: ABS(a - b) < tolerance 2. For Greater Then if not equal (using the above algorithm) then a > b 3. For Less Then if not equal (using the above algorithm) then a < b Let me know if this helps. If not we can get in touch and I can review your specific case. Billy |
