Hiding Zero Values

Avatar

Level 2

HI,

I have a form on which I would like to not see the zero values.  For instance, I have one numeric field that sums the total of a column.  If there are no values in that column, a 0 appears in the numeric field.  I would prefer that nothing appear in that numeric field, until a value has been entered.  Can I do that?

Thanks!!

In the event where you calculate the sum of the total, you need to check if that sum equals to zero then set the rawValue to "";

Use FormCalc as the language..

if(Sum(NumericField1.rawValue) == 0) then
NumericField2.rawValue = "";
endif

Thanks

Thanks so much Srini. Unfortunately, I'm still a little lost. I have VERY little exposure to this program (teaching myself as I go). The calculation I currently have in the field is as follows:

hasvalue(Table5.Row1[3].TextField8)+

hasvalue(Table5.Row1[4].TextField9)+

hasvalue(Table5.Row1[5].TextField10)+

count(Table4.Row1[*].TextField26)

How would I incorporate it in to what you have below? Thanks!

Karen,

     Try this way..

     I am assuming you are placing the below code in the Calculate event of the Numeric field which you do not want to display ZERO..

var intTotal = hasvalue(Table5.Row1[3].TextField8)+hasvalue(Table5.Row1[4].TextField9)+hasvalue(Table5.Row1[5].TextField10)+count(Table4.Row1[*].TextField26);

if(intTotal >0) then
$.rawValue = intTotal;
else
$.rawValue = "";

endif

WOW! That worked perfectly. I had a number of places where I wanted to do the same thing and it worked for all of them. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!
