Enter percentages, dates and money correctly

The short answer

Type percentages as plain numbers (9 for 9%), pick dates with the date picker, and enter money as a number in the unit shown beside the field, usually ₹.

Percentages

Fields with a % beside them expect a plain number. Do not add the percent sign and do not convert it to a decimal yourself.

Dates

Dates are chosen with a date picker, so you do not have to type them in a particular format.

1. 1Tap the date field to open the date picker.
2. 2Choose the day, month and year.
3. 3Check the field has the date you meant before you read the result.

A date that does not exist, such as 31 February, outlines the field in red with a message under it. Pick a real date and the result updates.

Money

Money fields show ₹ beside them. Enter the amount as a number. Results for money are shown to two decimal places.

If a field is not accepted

A field outlined in red needs attention. Read the short message under it and correct the value. It may be a missing value, a number outside the allowed range or a date that does not exist.
