From checkbox/radiobuttons to nr's

[Hjalmar Hansen]

Im kindof a starter with Filemaker Pro 5.5 and i have the following problem. I dont know how to make from input put in checkboxes or radio buttons a numbercode in my list/report. Instead of yes/no, or few, average, many i would like to have in my reports a nr code like 0-1-2 etc.

After a lot of frustration i finally gave up, i know there must be an easy solution for this.

Can anyone help me with it?

Thanks

code:

---

Case (

RadioButtonField = Yes, 1,

RadionButtonField = No, 0

)

---

or

code:

---

Case (

RadioButtonField = High, 1,

RadionButtonField = Average, 2

RadionButtonField = Low, 3,

9

)

This advice helps me allready a little, but i still don't know how to use the values from the value list in this example.

example:

Diabetes type (this is a field) and in the radiobuttons i can choose between NIDDM and IDDM (non insulin dependend diabetes, and insulin dependend), i put these choices in the value list.

In my report i want only to see 1 or 2, where do i have to put wcich calculation?

If i try to put it in the new fields in my report, i somehow am told that NIDDM and IDDM are no fields (and that is right, they are value's) but the calculation wont work

Thanks again!

If your choices are NIDDM and IDDM, but you want to see 1 & 2, then you define a new field as I showed above. This new field is the one that you put on the report.

You also need to encase your choices in quotes so that Filemaker knows that they are text and not fields.

code:

---

Case (

RadioButtonField = "NIDDM", 1,

RadionButtonField = "IDDM", 2

)
