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.

    I need Calculated Field Expression Help

    I created a grid of jobs to be worked on, so we can keep track of everything. The SQL database I am linked to stores our rep names by number. For example 1 = John Smith. So on my grid it shows up as the number 1. I created the if statement (below) that does do what I want but when you click on a job and see a detailed view the field goes blank. No number or name. Can someone please advise.

    if(CSR=3, "JJ", if(CSR=11, "MJS", if(CSR=18, "DD", if(CSR=54, "MH", if(CSR=55, "DF", if(CSR=59, "MEP", if(CSR=64, "MLS", if(CSR=122, "LD", ""))))))))


    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Fernando,
    I'm not sure where you're using this code.
    With that said, I am assuming the sql table contains the csrID as well as the csrName.
    In my opinion it would be far easier to have csr and csrName in the query, then simply show the csrName where you want it.

    Showing the grid with some generic data makes it a lot easier to help solve the problem.

      Re: I need Calculated Field Expression Help

      Hi Madtowng,
      How would I go about doing that? Yes my sql table contains the csrID and the csrName. I am putting the code on the calculated field expression under Client Side Properties for the CSR field that I have selected to show on the grid. At the moment, as a work around I have setup a Javascript - System event: afterDetailViewClose {grid.Object}.refresh(). Which works but once it refreshes it takes you back to the top. Which isn't much of a big deal but not working as it should.

        At a bare minimum, show us the query section and fields section from the grid setup
        as shown in the images below. This will provide some real information to help with
        the issue.

                I think you just need to add salesrep to the detailview fields.
                You shouldn't need the if statements.

                  This is what I see when I open the grid and what I should always see. Capture1.PNG
                  But after clicking on the row and viewing the detail view and closing. I get this. Capture2.PNG
                  As you can see the salesrep disappears. I don't get why.

                    Ok...try this
                    Add salesrep column to the grid (either side of csr).
                    remove the if statement for csr column.
                    check the box to hide csr column.

                      No luck. Now all I see are the actual numbers. For example, the picture i posted earlier, where the CSR was MEP is now showing 54.

                        I'm hoping you see the salesrep as well.
                        It sounds like the csr column is not hidden.
                        Check the image below to see how to hide the csr column.

                            you should try a switch case statement instead.

                              Good morning Charles. Thanks for the response. I tried that as well and I get an error message. Something about not being able to be parsed?
