Adobe PDF Form Calculation Format Error

New Here ,

Newbie...

 

Getting this error on a pdf form. 

The value entered does not match the format of the field [ Text13 ]

My form has several text fields that repeat.

For example, my calculation is Text 14/Text15 entered into Text3

Then I have another calculation Text14/Text4 entered into Text5

I've made sure my format is the same but I must be missing something.

In the properties of the field, did you specify that the field holds a number?

Yes. Everything is the same under the format tab.

If you use division, you can't use simplified field notations, or you will get that error when attempt to divide with empty field.

You need custom calculation script and check that denominator field is not empty or 0.
