Hi friends,

I begin with Acribat and i need to build a calcul sheet. I created three fields, in the first we can enter a number and the seconde too and the third one give us the result of the content of one and two.
easy with sum(+) or Product (X) but what I need to do if I want that the result of feild3 equal feild1 devide by feild2.

I just need to divide the two feild.

Thank you!

A problem with using the Simplified Field Notation method is dealing with the case of division by zero, which is what will happen if the field for the denominator is blank or otherwise evaluates to zero. To deal with this, you need to use JavaScript, which allows you to test the value of the denominator and deal with it. For example:

// Get the field values, as numbersvar v1 = +getField("numerator").value;var v2 = +getField("demoninator").value; // Set the value of this fieldif (v2 !== 0) {// Perform the divisionevent.value = v1 / v2;} else {// Set this field to nothing (blank) if denominator is zero// You may want something else hereevent.value = "";}

or equivalently:

var v1 = +getField("numerator").value;var v2 = +getField("demoninator").value; event.value = (v2 !== 0) ? (v1 / v2) : "";

This code assumes the input fields have a numeric format type. You would replace "numerator" and "demoninator" in the code above with the names of your fields.
