If then formula

You will need to use javascript in the Custom Calculation of your text field.

Is the number you want to display the number of check boxes that are selected? Or a number value that is entered as the export value in the check boxes?

Also, what do you mean when you say 'at least 2 check boxes in each field'? Do you mean at least 2 check boxes corresponding to each text field that should display a number?

I'd be happy to help if you want to provide more information.

If any of the check boxes in each field are checked the value to be displayed is a predetermined value and is not dependent on the number of boxes checked. If no check boxes are checked the displayed value should be 0.

Put this code in the field's custom calculation script:

You will need to adjust the name of the check boxes, their "on" value, and the value to be assigned when one of them is checked.

i entered the script and didnt get any errors but its not calculating anything in the text box. Is the value of a checked box 1 or yes. Or where do I set the value in the properties.

Did you adjust the names of the check boxes?

i got it to work. I changed the value of the check boxes from yes to 1 in the properties.

thanks for your help

I have a similar equation as this, but I can't quite get it to work.
I want to have a calculation happen when the checkbox is selected.
Here is what I am assuming happens:

if (this.getField("Yearbook_Proof_check2").value==1 )
{event.value = <>;}
else event.value = 0;

This is the calculation to be inserted...but, I can't get the correct language to make it work.

var v1 = this.getField("PageCount").value;
var f2 = getField("Yearbook Proof Cost Static");

if (v1 > 50) f2.value = (v1 * 0.50);
else
f2.value = 25;

Can you help me figure it out?
thanks,
sara

Have you looked at the response to your previous post, Check Boxes?Where very exactly are you placing this code?

Access the field while the user has focus on the field requires use of the 'event' object and not the ' field' object.

sorry. didn't see someone response.
I'll check it out.
thanks.
