Hi @adam_wagner, Thanks for your work on this! I've finally gotten around to pulling in your changes (which you can see on github), and adding the new version on packal!

Happy Holidays! :)

Hi All,

I've finally published a long-overdue update to this that includes:

1. Support for Alfred 3 (Thanks deanishe for making that easy)
2. Ability to copy the result w/ ⌘+C
3. Changed text "Portion of" to "Percentage of"

You can download it now from Github.

A new version is out! 1.4.0 changes the former 'percent of' to 'portion of', and introduces a new 'percent of' that makes more sense.  Here's the examples:

Thanks for all the feedback!  Keep it coming

Hi sudopeople,

This is great feedback!  I can see where the phrasing is confusing.  I won't get  a chance to work on this for about a week, but once I do, I'll come back to it and push out a new release incorporating your suggestions.

Thank you!

Hi All, I've finally gotten a chance to convert this workflow over to a Script filter (Alfred-workflow is awesome, by the way), so you should now see results instantly, instead of having to wait for the large output.  I've also removed the copy to clipboard, since I never seemed to use that anyway.

You can get version 1.3.0 from http://www.packal.org/workflow/percent-change, or from https://github.com/bradmontgomery/alfred-percent-change

Let me know what you think.

Updated to version 1.2.0, which includes new calculations.

Thanks for the feedback!  I admit, that I don't like the large output either. I've found that I tend to do 2 or 3 calculations in a row, so I'll try to figure out how to get live output.

As for other calculations, I can think these might be useful:

• What percent of X is Y
• What is X percent from Y

I'd be happy to incorporate any others!

Thanks for this perfect workflow. It would be great to have the output in a smaller way or as a sort of "live output" just like the normal calculations I can do within Alfred. 

 

Besides percentage change it would be great to get the basics of calculations of percentage, e.g. the percentage of something. 

 

Just my first thoughts, will think about this in more detail as this workflow is just awesome as I assume I will use it very often. 

 

Thanks for that! 

I'd be all for this. Do you have anything in mind?

I'd be awesome if we had a list of things people would expect from this workflow.

Interesting! How about adding more percentage stuff to the workflow as well? If it houses other formulas it'd become utterly useful i believe!

Hi All,

I'm new here, and I've just created my first workflow: Percent Change. For some reason, I can never do this in my head, and I'm tiring of looking up the formula.

This workflow lets you calculate the percent of change between two values, using the % symbol:

% <value1> <value2>

So, something like % 3 6 would give you a result of 100. The result is displayed in Large text and copied to the clipboard.  You can find it, here:

I'd love any feedback.
