Calculation of Minimum Value

Hello,

I have a scenario to calculate the minimum of 2 fields and store it in another field. (i.e) There are 2 fields, Fees owed and Grant Amount.

if fees Owed = 1999 and Grant amount = 2000, I need to find min of both of these fields and populate the minimum value in another field called "Approved grant Amount".

(Eg)Fees Owed = 1999

Grant Amount = 2000

Approved Grant Amount = 1999 (This needs to get populate by itself when those 2 fields have value in it and this is the minimum of both fields).

Can we do this without Javascript code? or if this can be achieve only by javascript can I get sample code for it?

Many Thanks,

Poornimaa An

if the fields are numeric (whole number, decimal or float) you can use a simple crm workflow (triggered on the update of the two fields)

Hi,

Other option is to have Approved Grant Amount as a calculated field and have this as the calculation logic i.e. set the value which is lowest. Note that if you already have the Approved Grant Amount field created, you can use it as calculated field. for this you need to delete and recreate the field as calculated.

If you can't delete then best option is workflows as suggested above.

You can probably also use a Business Rule for the situation you are looking for.

If FeesOwed < GrantAmount

SetValue of New Field to GrantAmount

Else

SetValue of New Field to FeesOwed

See screenshot below (used Latitude fields, but logic is the same).

Hi ,

try this

function SetminimumValue()

{

debugger;

var FeesOwed = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_feesowed").getValue();

var GrantAmount = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_grantamount ").getValue();

if (FeesOwed != null && GrantAmount != null)

{

if (FeesOwed > GrantAmount)

{

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_approvedgrantamount").setValue(GrantAmount);

}

else if (FeesOwed < GrantAmount)

{

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_approvedgrantamount").setValue(FeesOwed);

}

}

}
