Problems setting up a basic calculation

    Hi,

    I’m evaluating this plugin as an alternative to my current calculating form which seems to be somewhat abandoned by the author.

    Although all the required fields are in place (test form), I am starting with a basic calculation where “type of service” (a drop down menu with items assigned the values 0.008 / 0.016 / 0.016 / 0.032 / 0.008 / 0.016) is multiplied by the value inserted into the “number of words” field (field type: number, number format: number).

    In the calculated field output I am using the equation: fieldname5*fieldname7, but regardless of the number value inserted, the output is always: ￡0.0016

    I’m sure I’m missing something elementary here, but can’t work it out. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    Err, this topic is not resolved, so I’m not quite sure why it has been marked so.

    I understand you have a business model which relies on users paying extra for the premium features, and developer support for calculations, but as this is a free support forum, in my view this topic should be left unresolved in the case that another plugin user offers a suggestion here. If I find that I need the premium support, I will open a support ticket as suggested.

    Thanks.

    This has been resolved after rummaging around in the support threads, and is generating the correct output for numbers over 1000.
    The problem was that I hadn’t completed the decimal separator field in field type: number. Once I inserted the sample 32.20, the calculated field generated the correct output.

    Now I’m working on developing the following for higher number ranges, but that is a different story ……:

    (function(){
if(fieldname7<=5000&&fieldname8==5){
return (fieldname5*fieldname7*fieldname9)*2;
}

if(fieldname7<=5000&&fieldname8==4){
return (fieldname5*fieldname7*fieldname9)*1.5;
}

if(fieldname7<=5000&&fieldname8==3){
return (fieldname5*fieldname7*fieldname9)*1;
}

if(fieldname7<=5000&&fieldname8==2){
return (fieldname5*fieldname7*fieldname9)*0.95;
}

if(fieldname7<=5000&&fieldname8==1){
return (fieldname5*fieldname7*fieldname9)*0.9;
}

})()

    Hi,

    Please, inserts at least an space character between the conditions and the double ampersand symbol (&&), in the conditional statements.

    Best regards.

    Many thanks for your suggestion. It’s much appreciated.
    I’ll give it a try.

    I have taken your advice and included the spaces around the double ampersand. This works as expected:

    (function(){
if(fieldname7<=5000 && fieldname8==5){
return (fieldname5*fieldname7*fieldname9*fieldname17*fieldname10)*2;
}

})()

    But this does not:

    (function(){
if(fieldname7>5001 && <=10000 && fieldname8==5){
return (fieldname5*fieldname7*fieldname9*fieldname17*fieldname10)*3;
}

})()

    Hi,

    You are not defining correctly the second comparison, you should includes the field you are comparing, the correct would be:

    if(fieldname7>5001 && fieldname7<=10000 && fieldname8==5){

    fieldname7 is bigger than 5001 and fieldname7 is lesser than or equal to 10000

    Best regards.

    Thank you. That has resolved this problem. I am still having some fine tuning issues, which I will email to your support address.
