hi friends,

i need to do calculation with Numeric field.

is it possible and how.

my opinion is first i copy numeric to integer field.

then i do calculation again i move result to num field.

is it a correct method?

or any other way is there ,should i do concatenation?

Hi,

Yes u can convert it into integer and again convert it into numeric.

Confusing... isn't an Integer a numeric field?

[Former Member]

hi, you can use the function modules , so that u can pass the values and can get the answer in required format.

reward if useful.

Hi Diana,

Yes its possible to use Numeric fields for calcluation. But generally it is not recommended to use Numeric fields for heavy calculation. I mean moving Numeric data to Other data variables types and move back and forth the data.

The system will need to do data conversion from one form to another and it is not recommended.

Hello,

You can do calculation directly. You don't need conversion o something like that.
