Question

If statement in Adobe Forms

I need help on two JavaScripts:

 

I have a field Num1, where people can imput their projected gross receipts.

 

On the next line, Num2, I want it to calculate that if Num1 less than 25000, it should equal 0, and if the value is over 25000, a calcuation of Num1-25000 should occur.  I've tried several JavaScripts, but I can't seem to figure out the right one.

 

Several lines down I also have a field, Num5, that I would like it to calcualte that if the value is less than 75, it should equal 75, and if it's over 500,000 it should equal 500,000.

 

Help?

Hi,

 

Use something like this :

 

 

// CUSTOM CALC SCRIPT FOR FIELD NUM2
var a = this.getField("Num1").value;
var b = 25000;
var d =0;
if ((a <= b) && (a != 0)) event.value = b;
else if(a > b) event.value = b;
else if((a <= d) && (a < 25000)) event.value ="";
else event.value = a;



// CUSTOM CALC SCRIPT FOR FIELD NUM5
var a = this.getField("Num1").value;
var b = 75;
var c = 500000;
var d =0;
if ((a <= b) && (a != 0)) event.value = b;
else if(a > c) event.value = c;
else if((a <= d) && (a <= 75)) event.value ="";
else event.value = a;

    Why so many conditions?  The question was for only two options. 

    For example:

     

    var a = this.getField("Num1").value;
if (a <= 25000) 
     event.value = 0;
else  
      event.value = 25000-a;

      Yes, sorry about that.

       

      I missed this part "Num1-25000"   I wasn't tracking it was a substraction so I treated Num1  like Num5 field calculation.
