Helpful Dashboard Widget Stats

Hi @anefarious1

Helpful calculates the values as follows:

Least Helpful:

pro = 2;
contra = 5;
average = ( contra – pro ); // 5 – 2 = 3
total = ( pro + contra ); // 5 + 2 = 7
percentage = ( average / total ) * 100; // ( 3 / 7 ) * 100 = 42% contra (or -42%)

Most Helpful:

pro = 7;
contra = 2;
average = ( pro – contra ); // 7 – 2 = 5
total = ( pro + contra ); // 7 + 2 = 9
percentage = ( average / total ) * 100; // ( 5 / 9 ) * 100 = 55,56% pro (or -55,56%)

The percentages are currently not rounded. However, I can consider this in the next update. I’ve just corrected it and I’m running the update now.

Since I am not a professional in statistics, I can be given suggestions at any time. So if you have suggestions for corrections in the calculation, you can tell me them here. Best always with a formula, then I don’t have to choose the wrong one.

And as always: Thank you very much for your feedback!

With the latest update this should be better. Then you can hide the publishing date in the settings under Details. Also there is now something like: 3 helpful / 1 not helpful (75% helpful in total)

Hopefully this is better now and thank you for helping me to make helpful better!
