LiveCycle - Calculation issue

[Former Community Member]

Simple task, not so easy to figure out.

How do I write the script?

If 1 table cost $15.00 and they have 2 entered, how do I get the grand total to calculate the total dollar value, in this case s/b $30.00?

[Former Community Member]

Can anyone help please.

Place this script in the field that will display the total:   fieldname * 2

replace fieldname with the name of the field on your form

Paul,

Thank you so much, this helped. Is there a way to incorporate the decimal point in the value, 15.00 vs. 15? If not, this works too.

Absolutely.

Click on the field and look at your "palettes" on the right side of the program.  There is a tab labeled Field.  Click that tab.  Now you have options of how you want that field to look.  There is a drop list named "Display."  Click it and select the display pattern:  $Z,ZZ9.99

Unfortunately it didn't work. I followed the instructions, but the PDF view does not show the pattern selected. Hum.

Leave what you did and try this:  Click on binding tab and in the data format drop list select decimal

[Former Community Member]

Hum. I only have Float and Integer available, no decimal option.
