The Perceptus Back Story

We have Perceptus’ Web Tools at the top of mind lately.  We’ve created another new tool, our minimal web based adding machine.

Have you ever had a half-hazardly formatted list of numbers to add up (maybe from an email?) and you didn’t want to do this:

• open up Excel (or other spreadsheet program)
• create a new file
• paste the values
• tidy them up so that they are  recognized  as numbers
• create the SUM() function

Well, we have, and now we have created a tool to save us, and hopefully you, some time.

Visit our new web based adding machine tool and try pasting in a set of numbers like this:

10
-7.8
8 000
(92)
30.1

And be impressed when you get results like this:

Add	Running Total
+0	0
+10	10
-7.8	2.2
+8000	8002.2
-92	7910.2
+30.1	7940.3

Impressed?  Did you notice that it handles negative numbers in (brackets) magically?  Or how about that awkward space in “8 000”?  We’re pretty proud of ourselves – even if you’re not impressed.

Comments and feedback is always appreciated!
