==General Description==Executes an expression to calculate a value and store the result. Additional information can be found in the [[SmartSimple]] wiki. =='''Field Options'''==

* '''Expression''' – defines : Defines the expression to be executed.(additional details on Expression found in section below){{LabelAboveField}}{{ToolTip}}{{HideFieldForNewRecord}}{{SmartFieldView}}

==Expression Field Details=='''Expression''': Defines the expression to be executed All values are treated as strings. For arithmetic operations, PARSEINT and PARSEFLOAT functions are used to convert the string value to a numeric value.

''ParseFloatssParseNum([Total Monthly Cost]) + ParseFloatssParseNum([Total Cost Ex]) + ParseFloatssParseNum([Hardware Rental]) + ParseFloatssParseNum([Email]) + ParseFloatssParseNum([Other])''

<pre>If you are using this field in a '''"Dynamic Control Field''' " address the fields by thier their field ids with the following syntax:

Example: ''PARSEFLOATssParseNum(frm.cf_1254625.value)*0.44'' </pre> {{OptionsTab}}{{Searchable}}{{TrackChanges}}{{HideField}}{{DisableFromGlobalSearch}} ==Formatting=={{FieldFormattingOptions}} ==Value Storage=={{ValueStoresTo}}  {{CFPermissionsTab}}   ==Notes==* You can in general use either the name of the field within square brackets, or frm.cf_''customfieldid'Field Validation'''== .value to refer to the values for the calculations.* In both cases is that the field must be visible on the page (or a [[Hidden Value]] custom field that is on the page).* A [[Combo Box]] custom field can be used in mathematical as long as the stored value is numeric. The displayed value does not have to be numeric* [[Check Boxes]] cannot normally be used in Calculated Value fields. (They can be accommodated with sufficient knowledge of JavaScript)

You can use arithmetic, string, comparison operators and functions within the calculated [[Custom Field|custom field]]. * References to other fields are always enclosed in square brackets: [variable1] * The calculations are performed when you click the '''Save''' button and save the page.

===Arithmetic Operators==='''Rounding''': ** To round a calculation to 2 decimal places use the following syntax:*** '''Math.round(('''''expression''''')*100)/100''''''Note:''' To round to a different decimal place just change '''*100)/100''' part as per requirement. Example:To round to 3 decimal places, you would use '''Math.round(('''''expression''''')*1000)/1000'''

[[Image*** For no decimal places:CS08**** '''Math.pnground('''''expression''''')'''where ''expression'' is the calculation to be rounded off, such as PARSEINT([variable 1])/PARSEINT([variable 2])

'''calage([date of birth])''' - Calculates the number of full years between the current date and the date included in the function.'''calage([Imagedate of birth],1)''' - Calculates the number of years and months between the current date and the date included in the function as a floating point.'''calage([date of birth],2)''' - Calculates the number of years and months between the current date and the date included in the function as the string "X years and Y months". ===Time Functions===To calculate the time difference for '''Standard Fields''' in hours and minutes use the following Level 1: **** ''timediff(frm.ostartdate.value,frm.oenddate.value,frm.ostarthour.value,frm.ostartminute.value,frm.oendhour.value,frm.oendminute.value)''Level 2:CS085 **** ''timediff(frm.png]]startdate.value,frm.enddate.value,frm.starthour.value,frm.startminute.value,frm.endhour.value,frm.endminute.value)''(note: the starttime and endtime '''Standard Fields''' are actually stored as part of the startdate and enddate fields, which is why they are used here)
