Set up and access an array

[amerkfan]

I currently use a spreadsheet to do calculations for payment. In this spreadsheet I have set up a table with pipe sizes descriptions, etc. and I use vlookup to access this data. I am now converting the spreadsheets to forms using livecycle and need to understand how I can set up the same in LiveCycle. the data have 2 variables, size and type. Once the pipe size and type are selected (pipesize is a direct entry, pipetype is a dropdown list) I want to be able to access pipedesc, pipepayitem, and pipeod data based on pipesize and pipetype. If I set up a nested array for each pipe type, that has [pipesize, pipedesc, pipepayitem, pipeod] for each nest, how can I access this data from a field? my array will look something like:

var pvc21: array = [[4,"4 inch PVC, SDR-21","603.9804",4.5][6,"6 inch PVC, SDR-21","603.9806",6.625].....]

to access this data from a field called pipepayitem, for 4" pvc, I would expect the pay item to be returned as 603.9804 and so on.

Is the array the way to do this? Is there a better way where the data is embedded in the form?

thanks

any one have any ideas on this one?

anybody have any ideas on this one? is there a better way to do this so that the form can be shared and used by oothers?

Yes, multi-dimensional array is the option you can opt for this requirement.

If you can send me a mockup form and few sample data, I would try to help on the coding part.

Also if you can send me the excel with few sample data, it would be easy for me to translate the calculations.
