No it does not work for me.
The last valueBox remains blank, actually it has a zero in it.
The valueBox isn't updating it's value to the calculation, I can't
seem to figure out why.

I added a print statement and it does print the result in the console
but it's not rounding to 2 places, using 2 and 3 gives a result of
66.6699982.
I double checked the name and it is the same as in the code, ValueBox1,
as I did not rename it like I did with the others.

I am using: ValueBox1.Value = perAmnt & "%"
