It would help if the state field gives also a .max .position value.

Then a more precise calculation would be possible.

This is an old page - formulas now support all data types.  
Formulas are best understood through the [User Guide](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Formulas-39?show-only-current-space-in-menu).  
With this in mind, can you explain what you mean by

The help page I just mentioned as exactly a progress for a formular was used. Let me show a fictional example of what would be nice:

```auto
progress = State.Position() / State.Max()

In your example, what is `State`?  
Is it the standard Fibery Workflow field?  
If so, do you mean that for the following example

`State.Position` = 1 if state is Open  
`State.Position` = 2 if state is In Progress  
`State.Position` = 3 if state is Done  
and `State.Max()` = 3
