Numbers

[Ricardo]

Hi Guys,

i have a problem in that the calc below will set the field with a number depending on the job cost.

Now if the job is below 1000 the field needs to be set as 1 and so on (see below) but for some reason it sees that if the cost is for example 120 it sets the field as a 4 and not a 1.

i have the understanding that the case function will take the first true result?! so therfore if cost = 120 then the result is 1.

Am i missing something?

i have set fields in that the number format is set to two decimals and a "," for thousand seperators.

Case( IsEmpty( ncrCost), " ",

Cost < "1,000", "1",

Cost < "2,000", "4",

Cost > "2,000", "5")

Tnanks in advance,

ricardo

Hi Ricardo

With a number field, you don't need the thousand separator or the quotes in the formulae.

Case(IsEmpty(ncrCost), "", ncrCost < 1000, 1, ncrCost <= 2000, 4, 5)

Your calculation also skipped a value if the ncrCost equaled 2000, so I changed that to <= 2000. You can adjust that as needed. You also don't need to list the > 2000 because all remaining records will (by default) be 5.

That should give you what you want.
