Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Re: Round Number to 50 and 100 - Formula

    Code:
    FUNCTION getTen AS C (n AS N )
    	
    	dim intN as n
    	intN = int(n/10)
    	
    	getTen = ((intN+1)*10)-0.01
    	getTen = alltrim(str(getTen,250,2))
    	
    	
    END FUNCTION
    see if this works

    Re: Round Number to 50 and 100 - Formula

    Hi Gandhi:

    Thanks for the help. It looks like I need a little modification:


    Rather than rounding up to hundreds and fifties I need it to round up to following:

    CASE 1:
    Code:
    If a [COLOR="#FF0000"]CASE 1 Checkbox[/COLOR] is selected
    If the value is 432.99 should be 439.99 
    If the value is 34.87 then it should be 39.99
    If the Value is 56.12 then it should be 59.99
    If the value is 59.00 then it should be 59.99
    Basically it is rounding to it's closet (10.00-.01) = #9.99
    CASE 2: ALREADY YOU DID IT!
    Code:
    if [COLOR="#FF0000"]Case 2 Checkbox[/COLOR] is selected 
    Then 
    FUNCTION getNumber AS C (n AS N )
    	
    	dim intN as n
    	dim intN2 as n
    	dim modN as n
    	dim modN2 as n
    	dim modN3 as n
    		
    	modN3 = mod((n*100),50)
    	if modN3 = 0 then
    		intN2 = int(n/50)
    		getNumber = ((intN2+1) * 50)- 1
    	else
    		intN = int(n/100)
    		modN = mod(n,100)
    		mod2 = if(modN > 50,99.99,49.99)
    		getNumber = intN*100 + mod2
    		end if
    	
    	getNumber = alltrim(str(getNumber,250,2))
    	
    END FUNCTION
    CASE 3:
    If Case 3 checkbox is selected then
    Code:
    Leave as it is.
    Thanks for the help. This will be a huge help to me.

    		end if
    	
    	getNumber = alltrim(str(getNumber,250,2))
    	
    END FUNCTION
    revised code to show decimal places.

    I will give it a try. Thanks for the help. Please let me know if you were able to figure out the result to "349.99 or 349.00".

    Re: Round Number to 50 and 100 - Formula

    modN3 = mod(n,50)
    change this to
    modN3 = mod((n*100),50)

    here is how to use this
    grade1_round = get number(grade1_total)

    i still have a little problem
    i need to format the result in decimals like 349.99 or 349.00

    Code:
    FUNCTION getNumber AS N (n AS N )
    	
    	dim intN as n
    	dim intN2 as n
    	dim modN as n
    	dim modN2 as n
    	dim modN3 as n
    		
    	modN3 = mod((n*100),50)
    	if modN3 = 0 then
    		intN2 = int(n/50)
    		getNumber = (intN2 * 50)- 1
    	else
    		intN = int(n/100)
    		modN = mod(n,100)
    		mod2 = if(modN > 50,99.99,49.99)
    		getNumber = intN*100 + mod2
    		end if
    	
    	
    	
    END FUNCTION
    corrected code

    Hi Gandhi:
    How do I apply this to a calulated field? I am not sure of how to call a function that will be used for a calculated field.

    Thanks for the help!

    usage:
    x = getnumber(your_number)

    i am playing with this code.
    see if this helps, you may improve upon it.

    you probably won't need intN, intN2 just one of them.

    started a topic Round Number to 50 and 100 - Formula

    Round Number to 50 and 100 - Formula

    I am trying to figure out something. Spent sometime but could not locate appropriate functions to use.

    I have a numeric field with 2 decimal: example:

    grade1_price = 33.23
    grade1_multiplier = 2.2
    grade1_total = grade1_price * grade1_multiplier
    grade1_round = THIS IS WHERE I AM STUCK

    I would like to do following:
    1) If the grade1_round is less than or close to $#50.## decimal (say: $146.89, $2447.76, $632.12 I would like it to be $149.99, $2449.99 and $649.99)
    2) If the grade1_round is greater than 50 and less than $#100.## (say: $1256.60, $7689.00, $5463.87 I would like it to be $1299.99, $7699.99, and $5499.99)
    3) If the grade1_round has .00 as decimal then leave the decimal as #00 and round up close to $#49.00 (if it is less than $#50) and round up to $#99.00 if it is greater than $#50 and less than $#100.00
    EXAMPLE (Case 1: 345.00 should be 349.00 case 2: 1289.00 should be 1299.00)

    Thanks for the help.
