Plus Minus Formula?

[nathanh91795179]

I am currently trying to get 2 of the same fields to look for a discrepancy between the two.

The formula I am using is:

function _Sum() {

var total = 0;

for (var count=0; count<_Sum.arguments.length; count++) {

  if ( _Sum.arguments[count] )

   total += _Sum.arguments[count];

}

return(total);

}

event.value = _Sum(((this.getField("discrepancy")).value*(-1)))

Is there something I am missing. I am also trying to get a field to still be editable and still calculate the numbers. What should I do to get this to work properly?

What's the point of a sum function if you're only providing it with one

parameter?

That is the only parameter I need in this form. The fields I am looking for a discrepancy in are identical fields

I don't follow... If they're identical (with the same name?) how can there be a discrepancy?

If you want this field to just have the same value as the other field, only multiplied by -1, simply use this code:

event.value = Number(this.getField("discrepancy").value) * -1;

What I have is a text field that needs to equal three different text field subtracted from each other but still have the field to be able to be edited manually.

I don't see how your code achieves anything close to that...
