I've not run into this here, but have had similar problems with other
(non-CF) programs in the past. At a guess, I'd say that CFGRAPH is
truncating the average, but it is being rounded when you display it.
I'd calculate the value and store it with the correct number of significant
digits in a variable somewhere rather than rely on CFGRAPH to round/truncate
it properly. The other alternative (assuming I'm right about the cause) is
to truncate the value when you display it.
HTH.

: Subject: Problems with CFGRAPH accuracy
:
:
: Hi all,
:
: I'm having this fun problem with a CFGRAPH tag in CF 5 that's driving
: me a bit crazy this morning. My code is calculating the sales average
: for the users' state vs. the national sales average for the same time
: period, and assigning these to local variables named #salesAvg#
: and #allSalesAvg#.
:
: The problem is that the values displayed in my CFGRAPH image (using the
: Flash format) and on the actual page do not match for the #allSalesAvg#
: value. The graph is showing 78.26 (which is incorrect), but the text
: label I have further down on the page is showing 78.27 (which is the
: correct value).
:
: Has anyone had any similar problems with the accuracy of the CFGRAPH
: tag? Any decent solutions to this, or am I better off hard-coding the
: value for the national sales until we move up to CFMX and CFCHART-ing?
:
: TIA,
: Becky
