Default IF field? and if so, how to set up it??

If I understand correctly, yoiu have a form field "Lordo" which contains a
gross amount and a form field "Imponibile" which contains 20% or 30%? In
which case a pair of formula fields will work

{ ={ Lordo } * { Imponibile } }

and for the net amount

{ ={ Lordo } - ({ Lordo } * { Imponibile }) }

It would probably be sensible to use a dropdown formfield for the tax amount
containing 20% and 30% as values.

Hi again

I've another difficult (for me :P) task that maybe requires an IF
field.
I've to prepare a form for a sort of income. It works this way:

gross amount = X ("Lordo")
tax 20% = Lordo/5 ("Imponibile")
net amount = Lordo - Imponibile

in this form, inserting the gross amount it's possible to know the net
amount.
I assigned a bookmark to the gross amount text field ("Lordo"), then
another one to the function to know the amount of the tax
("Imponibile"), then the final function subtracting the tax amount
from the gross amount.
The problem is: in Italy you have two different rates for taxes: one
is 20% (like in the example shown), another is 30%. I would like to
allow a choice between the two tax amounts, and then I would like
that the form will be able to calculate depending on the choice of
the tax amount.
Is there a way to do that?
By the way, to calculate the 30% tax amount i used this forumla:
(Lordo x 3)/10.

thanks in advance for you help!
