Hi Mark,

The following compound field will return the scientific notation of any +ve
value between 10^-9 and 10^9:
{QUOTE
{SET a {SourceVal}}
{SET
b{=9-(a10^9)-(a10^8)-(a10^7)-(a10^6)-(a10^5)-(a10^4)-(a10^3)-(a10^2)
-(a10^1)-(a10^0)-(a10^-1)-(a10^-2)-(a10^-3)-(a10^-4)-(a10^-5)-(a10^-
6)-(a10^-7)-(a10^-8)}}
{SET c{=int(a/10^b)+mod(a,10^b)/10^b}}
{c \# 0.00}E{b \# +00;-00}}
where 'SourceVal' is the input, which could be a formula taking its input
from two formfields. You can extend the range easily enough by adding more
terms.

All the field braces (i.e. { }) are created in pairs via Ctrl-F9. I've laid
the coding out with line breaks to separate the key portions of the coding,
but you don't really need them.

Cheers

How do I display the results of a calculated field in scientific notation.
Is this possible. Thanks in advance.
