Hello, I need to make a calculation but I need to claculate (divide) a Text Field with the lowest amounts entered from two different Text Field boxes in percentage. Is there a java script I could use?

Text Field 1 = Amount 1

/ Lesser Amount from two text fields

Text Field 2 = Amount 2

Text Field 3 = Amount 2

I need to clacaltue lesser amount between Text 1 and Text 2 to divide Text 3 with.

I don't see the division in your example, but you can find the lower amount like this:

var amount1 = Number(this.getField("Amount 1").valueAsString);
var amount2 = Number(this.getField("Amount 2").valueAsString);
var minAmount = Math.min(amount1, amount2);

You need to provide more details, not just say "it didn't work", or share the actual file.

You say you need to divide Text 1 by the lesser amount, but where should this result appear? There are only three fields in the screenshot you sent. There needs to be another one for the final outcome.
