Hello, I am working on a number of forms and I need a few fields to round up/down to the nearest one hundredth. I have the math part working just can not figure out the rounding part. my current notation is "ofpgs/PPI" I need the value of this to round accordingly. Could anyone point me in the right direction? TIA
Need help with rounding in simplified field notation...PLEASE!

Alright, I figured out I need the custom calculation script but how do I incorporate x=Math.round (I am new at this obviously) and can it get it to go to a hundredth?

I am this far and it seems to be working however it is not rounding to the nearest hundredth. Can someone steer me right? Here is what I have
this.getField("Bulk").value=Math.round(100*this.getField("ofpgs").value)/(this.getField("PPI").value)/100;
this.getField("Bulk").value=Math.round(100*this.getField("ofpgs").value)/(this.getField("PPI").value)/100;

Have you looked at the results of each operation of the math?
You want to round the result of the value of 'ofpgs / PPI' and you do want to round '100 * ofpgs'. You also have to deal with the issue of division by zero.

console.show();console.clear();var fOfpgs = this.getField("ofpgs").value;console.println('ofpgs = ' + fOfpgs);var fPPI = this.getField("PPI").value;console.println('PPI = ' + fPPI);console.println('100 * ofpgs = ' + (100 * fOfpgs) );console.println('Math.round(100 * fpgs) = ' + Math.round(100 * fOfpgs) );console.println('Math.round(100 * ofpgs) / PPI) = ' + (Math.round(100 * fOfpgs) / fPPI) );console.println('Math.round(100 * ofpgs) / PPI / 100 = ' + (Math.round(100 * fOfpgs) / fPPI / 100) );console.println('Math.round(100 * ( ofpgs / PPI) ) / 100 = ' + ((Math.round(100 * fOfpgs / fPPI) / 100)) );if (this.getField("PPI").valueAsString == 0) {console.println('You can not divide by zero!');} event.value = '';if (this.getField("PPI").valueAsString != 0) {var fBulk = this.getField("ofpgs").value / this.getField("PPI").value;event.value = Math.round(100 * fBulk ) / 100;}
