Hi,

There's a calculated field (input type: number) in a subform. The expected output should be 193.2. What's going wrong?

toms,

I can't think why.

If you uploaded a stripped down copy of your db (with just the problem bits in it) I could take a look for you.

Steve, thank you for offering your help. Let me just give you some more details first. I noticed that there is a N| prefix. When I remove it in the developer console, the format of the calculated field will look alright.

toms,

That N| is supposed to be there (N| is for numbers, D| is for date formats).

Have you created any of your own Formats and tried them?

I cannot reproduce the problem.

I'm happy to look at your db.

Yes, I created my own format. It looks like this: This is what's happening behind the scenes. The variable m = "1000 13i000" and this is exactly what I see in the calculated field. The subform and calculated field:

toms,

Try putting a sign in front of your formats (you can arrow up and down to choose from some defaults).
It's a bug that needs fixing but try that.

Steven

Adding a sign doesn't help either.

toms,

You have changed the Format but you may need to reselect it in the Edit Form.

The 2 things are not automatically linked.

I will fix the dodgy field position problem in Format too sometime.

This is what I did. For now, I just set no format at all since this works.

toms,

I believe I have fixed the problem you were having now - latest Github.
