How would one add power attack to the pathfinder character sheet accuratly. I currently have it as a buff for -1 melee and 2.5 damage because of two handed weapon. Is this correct?

you could do  -[[1+floor(@{bab}/4)]] for the attack penalty, and for the damage, just include +[[3*(1+floor(@{bab}/4))]] in the bonus damage section like so:

It is not working. The issue we are running into is that it is not taking the total damage and dividing it by half.

Why are you needing to divide the damage by half? Power attack simply does -1 to attack, and +3 damage when using a two handed weapon, with the bonus and penalty scaling with bab.

This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon. So we want to divide the total by half then add it back in.

Right. Thats why my formula does damage in increments of 3 instead of 2. 50% of 2 is 1. 1+2=3. so instead of the default scaling of -1/+2 -2/+4 etc, my formula will do -1/+3 -2/+6 etc/
