Custom Calculation Script

[wohlgang99]

Need help writing a custom calculation script.  The script needs to be written so that if "Field1" = 80 and "Field2" = 10 then it returns John, but if "Field1" = 99 and "Field2" = 75, then it returns Jane.

I tried using some other scripts that I found, but they wouldn't work.  It would usually just always return the value of my first "if statement" regardless of whether it was true or not".

Also this is for Acrobat Standard DC.

Thanks!

Try this:

var v1 = Number(this.getField("Field1").value);
var v2 = Number(this.getField("Field2").value);
if (v1==80 && v2==10) event.value = "John";
else if (v1==99 && v2==75) event.value = "Jane";

Hmm.  Not having luck with that.  I'll try being a little more specific.  Field1 is actually titled Customer Office Code and field2 is titled Department. 

Let's assume this is what I need it to return:

If Customer Office Code = "90 - Maine", and Department = "12 - Maintenance" = John Doe

and Customer Office Code = "80 - Ohio, and Department = "15 - Tech" = Jane Doe

Would that change how the code needs to be written?

Thank you again!

var v1 = this.getField("Customer Office Code").valueAsString;  
var v2 = this.getField("Department").valueAsString;  
if (v1=="90 - Maine" && v2=="12 - Maintenance") event.value = "John Doe";  
else if (v1=="80 - Ohio" && v2=="15 - Tech") event.value = "Jane Doe";

Yes!  This is what I was looking for.  Now is there a way to add a catch all?  Meaning if they try choosing a selection that doesn't fit the script then it will say "invalid combo"?

Also, is there a limit to the number of combinations that can be included in the script?

Thank you!!!

1. At the end of the code add this:

else {

     app.alert("Invalid combo!");

}

I also recommend you add this line before the first if-condition:

event.value = "";

2. No, there's no limit to the number of combinations.
