How do you use rules to do something like this
I have a Textbox and i want to do calculations like 15%
i made a new Expression using that fx and then it opens the Expressions area and then i input the data for the calculations and it loads and nothing comes up again after that.
Now i want to know How do you do calculations doing rules.
Hi Gozni,
On my side i used an expression on a datalabel as follows:
[TXTValue] * 0.15
This returned 15% of the value entered in the TXTValue textbox.
Can you perhaps share your expression?

Hi Gonzi
As an example, you can create an expression as follow - [Textbox1] / [Textbox2] * 100
This will give you the value of [Textbox1] as a percentage of [TextBox2]
Then in your rule you can use a Transfer data event with the expression as the value for [TextBox3]. You can also add the % symbol after the expression for it to display correctly.
This will give you 12% as the value in [TextBox3]
Alternatively, you can add an expression directly to a control. The value will update automatically as the other controls get changed.
