    Please try:

     

    spl MTD VAR% Gross Activation =
    VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [spl MTD Gross Activation]
    VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [MTD Gross Activation]
    VAR __VALUE =
        IF (
            NOT ISBLANK ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE ),
            IF (
                ISBLANK ( DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE ) ),
                VALUE ( "0.00" ),
                DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE )
            )
        )
    VAR __RESULT =
        MIN ( __VALUE, 9.99 )
    RETURN
        __RESULT

    Hi Kratos_ZA ,

    Use SWITCH:

     

    spl MTD VAR% Gross Activation =
    VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [spl MTD Gross Activation]
    VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [MTD Gross Activation]
    VAR __VALUE =
        IF (
            NOT ISBLANK ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE ),
            IF (
                ISBLANK ( DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE ) ),
                VALUE ( "0.00" ),
                DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE )
            )
        )
    VAR __RESULT =
        SWITCH ( TRUE (), __VALUE < -9.99, -9.99, __VALUE > 9.99, 9.99, __VALUE )
    RETURN
        __RESULT
