New beta version of Bet Angel v1.57.0 - Now on general release

[Bet Angel]

• Various formatting, rounding, extraction, truncation options are available.

does the above quote refer to rounding of stored value to one decimal place or a truncation ? does it apply?
where can i find the new changes especially truncation

All the options are available when storing a value as text.
If your value is currently being stored as a number in a stored value, but you want special formatting for display (perhaps at the top of the ladder),
then you can use your numeric SV as the source for your text value.
e.g.

Your grid layout is saved as part of the settings profile you are using.

You need to re-save your settings profile if you want it to load a new/different grid layout

I'm half-cut now so I may be missing something but I'm not sure the value based colour settings recognises zero or negative numbers. I'd expect the -£3.00 under 'Worst case' to be coloured red in all 3 of those images?

It works with zero (I've got an example same as yours that changes the P/L colour at 0

and I've just double checked it again using a negative and here it is using -0.48

So it's an alcohol error

Have you tried it in Guardian? In the screenshot below I've had to change the threshold to 0.01 to get it to work so zeros appear in red. I'm guessing the currency formatting has something to do with it?

It was no alcohol error, it doens't work on text stored values.

The previous posts were currency text, the first shot below is two decimal place text, and the bottom one is numeric.

You could consider trying to test text against a value as an alcohol induced error

But at least you know why it wasn't working now

It was no alcohol error, it doens't work on text stored values.

Use the ‘tag value’ option when setting the stored value with Text; just set the tag with a numeric stored value holding the actual P&L. The text will be displayed and the tag will control the colour (and the sorting when appropriate).

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that checkbox, must have been pissed.

I was already thrilled with the seamless generic automated * * * * SVTYPE SVNAME VALUE now we have text filtering to booth.
A lot to get through here. Are we already at the Superconducting,quantum computing,nuclear fusion,unlimited battery cycle version. If not very close

I don't know if this is a 1.57 related issue or not, probably not but it's the first time I have encountered it ever, not just since installing 1.57. I leave my computer and BA on overnight but this morning when requesting the Desktop to see what has been discussed recently I was met by ...

Any thoughts?

Edit: all OK after a shutdown and re-open of BA.

can we use the obtained values to perform- stored value list ranges - calculations ?

thanks again

If you have Microsoft Edge installed on that PC then in v1.57 it'll be using that as the embedded browser rather than Internet Explorer, but that error probably would have occurred with either browser. The Desktop page auto-refreshes from time to time and it sounds like at some point overnight the refresh failed to connect and that would stop the auto-refresh too. If you see the message again, try pressing the home button at the bottom of the Desktop page to see if it returns to normal or whether the link is completely broken until the next restart.

Not directly, as the feature to 'store a value calculated from a range of values' requires the source value to be in numeric form. However, you could set a numeric stored value using a text stored value as the source and it'll attempt to parse the text into a number. Then you can use that number to perform your range calculations as you normally would.

You were previously talking about trying to use the text truncation on a number, so could you explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve?
If you were for instance using the text features to round to a certain number of decimal places, you might be better off keeping everything as a number, multiplying by a factor, rounding and then dividing by the factor again.
