calculation number variables

[cul8ter]

Calculation within a newly created record.

In field 1 i input $1,000. and in field 2 i need for the interest rate of that field to equal a percentage of what is in Field 1 IE; 1,000 times 16% equals 160. or it could be 3,000 in field 1 and 8% of Field 1 or any variations of numbers because there not all the same. any ideas?

Is this what you are looking for?

MyField1 user types in $1,000

MyInterestRateField user types in 16

MyCalcField = MyField1 * (MyInterestRateField /100)

Field_1 is the full number

Field_2 is the percentage

You then need a field that will contain the result?

Field_3 is the value of the percentage = Field_1*Field_2/100

Of course, the $ sign and the % sign are not part of the fields data... even though it could, but not good

Hope that I understood your question :

Isn't this the third time you have asked the same question?

Ok

This is my third reading of your post...

IF you want to have always a fixed interest of 160,

AND IF your second example is wrong ( you write 3,000 , but you wished to write 2,000 )

THAN:

Field 2 calculation is :

fixed interest*100/field1
