Calculations

Go to the Calculations tab of the field properties.

Here you can enter a custom calculation using javascript.

If I'm correct in understanding that you want field "231" to display the entered value divided by 100, enter the following into the custom calculation:

event.value = event.value / 100 ;

If you wanted to display the result of the calculation in another field enter the following in field "231":

this.getField("PLACE_FIELDNAME_HERE").value = event.value / 100 ;

Still not working.
This is the code I used. this.getField("FillText230").value = event.value / 100;
The figure in FillText230 is 40.
I get nothing in 231.

Can you please tell me what field you placed the script into?

And where are you entering the value that needs to be divided by 100?

If you want to enter the value in 231 and have the result in FillText230, you need to place the line of code you have in the Custom Calculation of fields 231. The value you enter into 231 will not change. That value, divided by 100 should appear in field FillText230.

Can you try this:

In the Field231 Calculation Event:

this.rawValue=FillText230.rawValue/100;


It should take the FillText230 vaule and divide by 100;

But, first you need to make sure that field231, and FillText230 are numeric fields or decimal fields.

Maybe, your problem is field231 is set as Text field??

mingdichen, that code is for LiveCycle forms and will not work with Acrobat forms.

You need to use the supplied code with a modification:
this.getField("PLACE_FIELDNAME_HERE").value = event.value / 100 ;
You need to replace 'PLACE_FIELDNAME_HERE' with the field name of the field you want the result to be placed in. Be sure to keep the double quote marks, as these are used to indicate the text string for the field name.

I am trying to do a custom calculation and this is what I have typed in:

var a = this.getField("Total Funding RequestedRow1").value;
var b = this.getField("Number of Clients to be ServedRow1").value;
var c = this.getField("Unit of Service to be ProvidedRow1").value;
Cost per Client per Unit of ServiceRow1.value = a/(b*c)

I am trying to divide variable a by the result of (variable b times variable c) and have that result in it's own column. I am not getting an error, but its not doing any calculation.
Can someone help me please?

Is this Acrobat or LiveCycle? Where is this script placed?
If Acrobat, you should place it in the custom calc of the last field and change the last line to:
event.value = a/(b*c)

If this custom JavaScript calculation is for the "Cost per Client per Unit of ServiceRow1", you should be using the 'event' object and the 'value' property.

I have a message about a missing semicolon because you appear to be accessing a field name but not using the field object for that field.

What would happen if you divide (b X c) is zero/

This information was so helpful! Thank you!
