Percent and decimal script

[sthembiso ntombela]

How do I use the below script on more than 1 field as current it gives an error on other fields

if (event.value != "") {
event.value = util.printf("%0.2f",event.value)+"%";
}

Where does you use this script?

[sthembiso ntombela]

Adobe Accrobat DC standard

[Bernd Alheit]

Does you use the code as calculation script?

[Test Screen Name]

By design, util.printf("%0.2f",x) will write 1.#R where x is not a number. 

[sthembiso ntombela]

Please simplify your response.

How do I my code to avoid this from happening

[Test Screen Name]

Do not format data that is not a number. Check your input. 

Don't ask me to write your script, please.

[sthembiso ntombela]

I changed the format to number, now I get the warning "The value entered does not match the format of the Field {Field name}

[Test Screen Name]

As I have said, your information is at this point NOT A NUMBER. The error is just correct. For example this can happen if you have not yet typed anything in one of your fields, but you are calculating with it. This is a very common issue with forms, and means that most calculation scripts must carefully check their inputs.

[Bernd Alheit]

Does you divide by zero?

[sthembiso ntombela]

No, it is a code line to output a decimal and percentage sign.

[Test Screen Name]

You must check your input, I have said. What are your inputs and where are they from?

[Thom Parker]

Try this, remove the format script so you can see what the "value" is that is causeing trouble. Then you can add code to test for that value. 

[sthembiso ntombela]

I removed the string "%" and there is no error but once the string is removed there is no need for the script as the number format category displays the decimal. The script was created to have both the decimal and % sign out put. Another way would be using the percentage category and write a script to divide the value by 100.

[Thom Parker]

So the idea is to find out what value is causing the problem with util.printf. Did you find out this infomation?

[gkaiseril]

Do you have any calculations that are using division?

[sthembiso ntombela]

I updated my program to show decimal and % sign on my calculation

var x = Number(event.value).toFixed(2);
event.value = x.toString()+ " %"

if(event.value == 0 || event.value == "0.00 %") {
event.value = "";}

[Thom Parker]

Is it working now?

You know, that after line #2 that "event.value" will never be 0. 

[sthembiso ntombela]

Yes it is working. Sometimes the form is printed without filling the fields so we have to remove the 0
