protected word form calculations
Are there any differences in how Word handles calculations entered thru Form
Fields - Calculations, Table - Formula or creating the formula from scratch? and how do spaces affect calculations? Generally - I don't have problems using Word's formulas but this one is causing a lot of head scratching. There might be a number of factors going on since I am using the US version of Word 2003 to construct an invoice type form that will be used in Germany using the German version of Word 2003. All number values when entered are set to be represented in Euros. Entry fields and calculating fields where applicable have been set to numeric values and the formatting to reflect Euros and Euros formatting. This is a protected word template that uses simple formulas to calculate line item totals. At the bottom of the last column where the formulas are calculating the totals, I have a formula set to calculate the column total. All of the individual line items are calculating properly. Formulas for these rows are entered in column "F" and constructed as: {=D1*E1*1\# "#Â*##0,00 ‚¬;(#Â*##0,00 ‚¬);"} and total properly. Formula for the TOTAL at the bottom of column "F" is: {=SUM(F1:F19) \# "# ##0,00 ‚¬;(# ##0,00 ‚¬);"} which starts off totaling correctly but soon gets off the mark. I can't see where in the formula(s) where it's going wrong... Can any of the the MVP's assist with this wrangle??? Best regards, Lenny -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

protected word form calculations
Your problem may be caused by the fact that you cannot use the result of a
formfield calculation as the input to another formfield calculation. All calculations must be based entirely upon the data that is entered by the user (plus the use of constants of course). -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
