I need some help on a long calc...

Featured Replies

in my database, I have 2 fields. 1 is a number, and the other a calc. Lets say in the number field i enter 21. In the calc. field, it will say "twenty one dollars". But if I enter in 100. It will say "one hundred and dollars". I am trying to get it to say "one hundred dollars" , or maybe even "One hundred and zero dollars" The Calc. I am using is below, NumberField is the field it is reading the numbers from. Any help?

Choose(Int(Mod(NumberField;10^12) / 10^11); ""; "One Hundred "; "Two

Hundred "; "Three Hundred "; "Four Hundred "; "Five Hundred "; "Six

Hundred "; "Seven Hundred "; "Eight Hundred "; "Nine Hundred ")

Hi Tom,

They are using the Standard Edition of v9.

There is a file with a CF by The Shadow post to the thread comment pointed to.

Lee :

Good point, Lee. It's true that you can't actually create custom functions without FileMaker Advanced. However, I don't think any of the CFs for number-to-word that you'll find on the site I linked are recursive. I.e. you can easily modify them to use in a normal (non CF) calculation, FM Advanced not required.

I don't think any of the CFs for number-to-word that you'll find on the site I linked are recursive.

At least some of them are. But the real question is whether they are any good. :eeek:

I found this on here, somewhere...
