gaby78 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I have 4 fields: Date, Number, Name, and AlertField: Alert is an autoenter calc. I want it to return "Alert" in 2 cases only: 1- Date has been modified or Name has been modified -> Alert field to return "Alert" 2- Number is modified and exceeds 19 to return "Alert" (if modified and value is below 19 it's not an Alert) I was able to figure each condition separately but don't know how to combine them. For 1 - I have : Let ([X=Date; Y=Name]; "Alert") For 2 - I have : Case (Number > 19; "Alert") I have been trying to combine these 2 conditions in one expression but stuck. AlertField is as an auto enter calc because once the person in charge has taken these changes into account the field is cleared.
comment Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I don't see how this is possible, unless you use Get (ActiveFieldName) to identify which field triggered the evaluation. Which would mean hard-coding field names into the formula. Alternatively, you could use two fields, one a number field with auto-entered calc = Let ( trigger = Date & Name ; 1 ) the other a calculation field = Case ( FirstField or Number > 19 ; "Alert" ) It's too bad you don't have version 9, because then you could use conditionally formatted text instead of the second field.
gaby78 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Tanks Comment; I'll got ahead and use 2 fields.
