Convert decimal to percentage value












3














How can I convert a given decimal into the respective percentage value with a certain amount of positions q after the comma? The percentage should be rounded with respect to q+1.



For example, I am looking for something like




percentage[position after the comma]{given decimal}




that produces:



percentage[positions-after-comma = 2]{0.12123456}: 12.12% 
percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{0.12123456}: 12.1235%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{2.12123456}: 212.1235%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 1]{0.6789}: 67.9%
percentage[positions-after-comma = 5]{0.6789}: 67.89000%

          You can use the siunitx package:



          documentclass{article}

          usepackage{siunitx}

          newcommandpercentage[2][round-precision = 2]{% default precision: 2
          SI[round-mode = places,
          scientific-notation = fixed, fixed-exponent = 0,
          output-decimal-marker={.}, #1]{#2e2}{percent}%
          }

          begin{document}

          percentage{0.123456} % -> 12.35 %
          percentage[round-precision = 3]{0.123456} % -> 12.345 %

          end{document}

            Your values looks wrong. But beside this:



            documentclass{article}
            usepackage{xfp,xparse}
            ExplSyntaxOn
            int_new:Nl_bjprim_round_int
            keys_define:nn {bjprim}
            {
            positions-after-comma .int_set:N = l_bjprim_round_int
            }

            NewDocumentCommandpercentage { O{} m }
            {
            keys_set:nn {bjprim}{positions-after-comma=2,#1}
            fpeval{round(#2*100,l_bjprim_round_int)}%
            }
            ExplSyntaxOff
            begin{document}


            percentage[positions-after-comma = 2]{0.123456}: 12.12%

            percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{0.123456}: 12.1235%

            percentage[positions-after-comma = 4]{2.123456}: 212.1235%

            percentage[positions-after-comma = 1]{0.6789}: 67.9%

            percentage[positions-after-comma = 5]{0.6789}: 67.89000%

            end{document}


            If you really want to fill up with zeros you could round with siunitx:

            • I am struggling to get your code running. It says: "File `xfp.sty' not found." I am working with Overleaf, can it be that this package is not supported?

            • That's not what I meant; if you use percentage{<number>}, the previous value is used, which may or may not be desired.

              You can remove xfp and replace fpeval by fp_eval:n.
