simple calculation in ES8

Avatar

Level 1

i am trying to put a simple calculation with an if exception

if(Field2>Field3) then field1=(Field3-Field2)

I cannot get this basic thing to work and I am by no means a programmer.

Thansk for any help!

If they are numeric fields the following FormCalc applies to field1.

// form1.page1.field1::calculate - (FormCalc, client)


if (field2 > field3) then

  field3 - field2

endif

Place this script (as FormCalc) in the script editor under calculate:

if (Field2 > Field3) then Sum (Field3 - Field2)

else null

endif

null can also be 0, or whatever calculation you want.
