How to multiply 2 fields together and put the answer in a separate field?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by USA80 2,645

I need a way to multiply 2 fields together and then put the answer in another field.  I have Field A, which consists of a drop down of Yes, No, TBD.  I then have another field(B) that is a text field, but has a number in it.

If Yes is selected, then the calculation should be 1 * 100.  If No, TBD or the field is blank, then the calculation should be 0 * 100.  The answer should then be place in Field C

Then going on from that my next field (Field D) is a drop down with options from 1-10.  I would need to get the value of the selection and times that by the value in Field E and then place the answer in Field F.

I can't do a calculated field through the Form, because of the option set.  So I think I have to use a JavaScript, just not sure how to do this.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

    Here is the code that I am using:

    function calculatevaluesforClaimswithcostdata()

    {

    var ClaimsWithCostData = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_claimswithcostdata").getText();

    var ClaimsWithCostDataWeighting = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_claimswithcostdataweighting").getValue();

    if (ClaimsWithCostData !== null && ClaimsWithCostDataWeighting !== null)

    {

    var calculationOfClaimsWithCostDataandClaimsWithCostDataWeighting = ClaimsWithCostData == 'yes' ? 1 * parseInt(ClaimsWithCostDataWeighting) : 0;

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_claimswithcostdatascore").setValue(calculationOfClaimsWithCostDataandClaimsWithCostDataWeighting);

    }

    }

    data type is a whole number in which the answer of the calculation should be going into this field.

    Can you tell me the data type of field in which you are setting value?

    I still get the error.  I do see though when I do F12, I now see the calculation is working correctly, but just doesn't put the answer in the field now.  Do I need quotes in the setValue last line?

    Hi

    As I  mentioned earlier you need to remove quotes from this line as well

    var calculationOfHowImportantIs100PassThroughandHowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting = parseInt(HowImportantIs100PassThrough) * parseInt(HowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting);

    Regards

    I have this now:

    function calculatevaluesforClaimswithcostdata()

    {

    var ClaimsWithCostData = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_claimswithcostdata").getText();

    var ClaimsWithCostDataWeighting = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_claimswithcostdataweighting").getValue();

    if (ClaimsWithCostData !== null && ClaimsWithCostDataWeighting !== null)

    {

    var calculationOfClaimsWithCostDataandClaimsWithCostDataWeighting = ClaimsWithCostData == 'yes' ? 1 * parseInt(ClaimsWithCostDataWeighting) : 0;

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_claimswithcostdataweight").setValue(calculationOfClaimsWithCostDataandClaimsWithCostDataWeighting);

    }

    }

    function calculatevaluesforHowImportantis100PassThrough()

    {

    var HowImportantIs100PassThrough = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_howimportantis100passthrough").getText();

    var HowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_howimportantis100passthroughweighting").getValue();

    if (HowImportantIs100PassThrough !== null && HowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting !== null)

    {

    var calculationOfHowImportantIs100PassThroughandHowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting = parseInt("HowImportantIs100PassThrough") * parseInt("HowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting")

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_howimportantis100passthroughweight").setValue(calculationOfHowImportantIs100PassThroughandHowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting);

    }

    }

    Am I am still getting the error of "Unable to get property 'SetValue" or undefined or null reference at calculatevaluesforHowImportantis100PassThrough

    Just saw you are adding the variable name in quotes while setting the value,remove the quote

    var calculationOfHowImportantIs100PassThroughandHowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting = parseInt(HowImportantIs100PassThrough) * parseInt(HowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting)

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_howimportantis100passthroughweight").setValue(calculationOfHowImportantIs100PassThroughandHowImportantIs100PassThroughWeighting);

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_claimswithcostdataweight").setValue(calculationOfClaimsWithCostDataandClaimsWithCostDataWeighting);
