Hi Lael,
Thanks for raising this issue. To hopefully avoid confusion in future, it has been noted in the documentation: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Grade_letters Thanks Helen and Peter,
to clarify - that means creating a calculated item and rounding off the total to achieve the result?, then assigning that as the full weighted item for the parent category? I will have a go at this and see. I suspect most people don't really want letter grades calculated to five decimal places though? perhaps there might be a way to include another option for this in the gradebook setup? (to avoid everyone re-doing the same calculation and work-around?) Unfortunately there is no easy way around this without adding new db field in grade_items table and making the rounding configurable for each item
 Hey,
This is still an issue - but I just had an epiphany on this issue. If we could allow users to set a grade cut off as a decimal, then this ceases to be an issue (eg set it to 90.5 if you want a 90.6 to round up... which I suspect is how most people deal with such an issue). Possible? |

Letter Grades are calculated using decimal numbers when 0 dec pl. have been specified. - resulting in conflicting values where rounding occurs.

the grade calculation is similar to Excel - the calculations are always done with 5 decimals precision, the options for decimal places are there only for display (like in Excel).
If you need any rounding of values you need to use calculation formula with round() function.
