Adding 2 Variable fields together that includes 2 decimal places to populate a third value

[jonathangilbert]

Hi,

I have been on the forums to find how I add 2 variable fields to popluate a third. I have come across this script:- 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

    }

    var value1 = parseInt(g_form.getValue("tax_amount_in_document_currency"));

    var value2 = parseInt(g_form.getValue("amount_in_document_currency_ACGL_ITEMWRBTR01"));

var sum = value1 + value2;

g_form.setValue('amount_in_document_currency', sum.toString());

}

It works for whole numbers (i.e if the value1 is 100.00, and value2 is 20, it would populate 120.

but if it is value1 is 100.10 and value2 is 20.02 it is populating 120 instead of 120.12, it is not including the values after the decimal places. Any ideas what else I need to do?

Hi Jonathan,

Use parseFloat instead of parseInt.  Check out this post for more options and examples.

Morning Brad,

That is great, thank you!, it works perfectly. I have also added .toFixed(2) aswell, so it always gives 2 decimal places.
