Dear All,

I have 4 text fields with number values, where I would like validate the MIN value without zero. Which means that the validation script should ignore zero value(s) and only validate the min value among values, which are (x) > 0. Any idea for a Javascript? Thanks in advance?

Best regards,

Angela.

OK, for future reference, this is called a calculation in the PDF world, not a validation. A validation is when you want to verify that the value of a field follows a specific pattern.

Anyway, you can do it using the following code as the custom calculation script of your minimum-value field (I've also added a command to set the average field value, as you requested):

var fields = ["Field 1", "Field 2", "Field 3", "Field 4"];

var values = [];

var total = 0;

var n = 0;

for (var i in fields) {

    var v

In what way is this a validation? Do you just mean that you want to display the lowest (non-zero) number?

And what are the names of the fields?

Hello try67,

many thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, the validation filed should show the lowest (non-zero) number.

Field names of validated values: Field 1, Field 2, Field 3, Field 4

In addition I would like to add a second field for validation of the average value of the 4 o.m fields, with exclusion of zero values.

Many thanks for your support.

if (n==0) {

    this.getField("Average").value = "";

} else {

    values.sort(function (a,b) {return a - b;});

    event.value = values[0];

    this.getField("Average").value = total/n;
