can someone provide me with the reason or a better way to do this ??? 

please answer asap.. thank you!!

What do you mean by a very bad result?

Please indicate what the program is producing and what you think the result should be.

You can use the Negate primitive rather than multiplying by -1.  Do you want Steps to be negative? Should steps be an integer datatype rather than double?

Hi sticyfingers,

have you tried to change the display format of your result indicator to get "nicer" results?

- Asking for ASAP in a forum of volunteers is quite annoying...

- What "better" way do you need? You already use math primitives...

I suspect your formula is wrong. If it wasn't for the round to nearest node, pulse/rev would completely cancel itself out from the influencing the final result. What is this suposed to do?
