I'm having some trouble creating a formula to express volume of a package.

I have the following, three numerical fields that are the following: legnth, width, height. I have a thirst field that reads volume, in the volume field I have the following formula: =(l1*w1*h1)/166.

I'm a sure noob and am just messing around with the software based on previous excel knowledge.

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it, thanks so much!

Could you provide more detail on the error message you're getting, or the problem you're experiencing?

Are "l1", "w1", and "h1" the names of the input fields? Do you really have an "=" symbol in there? If you do, then get rid of it.

LiveCycle is not Excel, not even close. You need the right documentation. Go to this web page and download the document on FormCalc and Calculations guide:
