Calculation w/ maximum result

[DblWide]

I created a calculation field to track annual vacation and sick leave (previous yr balance + earned leave - used leave = new balance) and it is working just fine. However, for vacation time, we are only allowed to carryover a maximum of 48 days. What do I add to the calc to get a result no > 48?

Hi Dblwide,

I suggest that you use something along the lines of:

Min(48, PreviousBalance)

Thanks to John and Ray for your replies. I still need help. The "previous balance" field is already <= 48. I need the "new balance" that the calculation field is calculating to be no greater than 48. I tried modifications of your suggestions to get this to work, but I can't get it right. Any other suggestions?

I. E: previous balance = 48 days, + earned 15 days, - used 10 days, new balance is still 48 not 53.

So Min( 48, previous yr balance + earned leave - used leave ) doesn't work for you?

THANKS! Now I get it! Problem solved. You are my heros!
