doing math

If I have three boxes on my form and I put a number in box number one can I get box number two to calculate 20% of box number one and then have box number three give me the difference between box number one and box number two?

Hi,

Here is a sample:

The calculate event of field nr 2:

this.rawValue = number.rawValue * 0.2;

Calculate event of field nr 3:

this.rawValue = number.rawValue - number20.rawValue; 

Hope that helps,

Niall

Thanks for the help. I put this formula in and it did not work. So know I am even more confused.

OK I'm an idiot, I got it to work. Now I have a second problem, the numbers need to be dollar amounts so I need the trailing numbers to show even if they are zeros. I figured out the decimal box but not how to get the zeros to show.

Hi,

Glad you have it working. You can apply patterns to the data in your objects - see here: Re: still having problems with dropdown populate Script

Good luck,
