Is it possible to set equations with multiple dependencies?

Ok. I think I figured it out and I came up with this code:

(function(){
if(fieldname3 == 1 Week > 1001) return 0.04*fieldname7;
if(fieldname3 == 1 Week < 1000 && >2001) return 0.05*fieldname7;
if(fieldname3 == 1 Week < 2000) return 0.06*fieldname7;
})();

I tried entering it in the “Set Equation” section of the Calculate Field control. But the code doesnt work. Can you tell me where I went wrong?

Hello @chynee

I don’t know who is Week in the equation, So, I’ll assume it is a global javascript variable, and that is correct. In this case, the correct equation’s structure would be:

(function(){
    if(fieldname3 == 1 && 1000 <= Week) return 0.04*fieldname7;
    if(fieldname3 == 1 && 1000 < Week && Week <= 2000) return 0.05*fieldname7;
    if(fieldname3 == 1 && 2000 < Week) return 0.06*fieldname7;
})();

Please, note you can nesting if conditional statements. The previous equation can be optimized as follows:

(function(){
    if(fieldname3 == 1){
        if(1000 <= Week) return 0.04*fieldname7;
        if(1000 < Week && Week <= 2000) return 0.05*fieldname7;
        return 0.06*fieldname7;
    }
})();

Best regards.

“1 Week” is the title of one of the radio buttons. Is that how it works? I would insert the name of the radio button after “fieldname3 ==” ???

Hello @chynee

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what do you want to implement. Please, send me the link to the page where the form is inserted and describe the equation.

Best regards.

Hi,

Thanks for replying quickly. The form is here: https://topscholarsediting.com/?cff-form=6

I only started working on the “Editing & Proofreading” dropdown. When you select “1 Week” under the Turnaround Time section, I would like the TOTAL to come up as: Enter Word Count Number x 0.04

Hope that makes sense.

Hello @chynee

I guess you are referring to an equation similar to the following one:

(function(){
	if(fieldname2 == 'Editing & Proofreading')
	{
		if(fieldname3 == '1 Week') return 0.04 * fieldname7;
		if(fieldname3 == '3 Days') return 0.05 * fieldname7;
		if(fieldname3 == '2 Days') return 0.06 * fieldname7;
		if(fieldname3 == '24 Hrs (RUSH)') return 0.09 * fieldname7;
	}
})()

Best regards.

What if I wanted to add this dependency:
“If value is less than 1000”

To this script:
if(fieldname3 == ‘1 Week’) return 0.04 * fieldname

How would it look?

Hello @chynee

I’m sorry, but you are not being clear. Do you want check the number or words? If it is the case, you can edit the equation as follows:

(function(){
	if(fieldname2 == 'Editing & Proofreading' && fieldname3 == '1 Week')
	{
		if(fieldname7 < 1000) return 0.04 * fieldname7;
		if(fieldname7 < 2000) return 0.05 * fieldname7;
		return 0.06 * fieldname7;
	}
})()

Now, you should include the other conditions.

Best regards.

So sorry if I am not explaining it properly. But you definitely got what I am trying to say. Thank you so much!

There’s 1 last thing (I hope). I need the number to round to only 2 decimals. I’ve added “PREC” in the code below, however, its still not showing me the 2 decimals:

(function(){
if(fieldname2 == ‘Editing & Proofreading’ && fieldname3 == ‘1 Week’)
{
if(fieldname7 < 1000) return PREC(0.04 * fieldname7);
if(fieldname7 < 2000) return PREC(0.05 * fieldname7);
return PREC(0.06 * fieldname7);
}
})()

Hello @chynee

The PREC operation requires two parameters where the second parameter is the number of decimals, like: PREC(0.04 * fieldname7, 2)

However, I recommend you to apply it only once, as follows:

PREC((function(){
	if(fieldname2 == 'Editing & Proofreading' && fieldname3 == '1 Week')
	{
		if(fieldname7 < 1000) return 0.04 * fieldname7;
		if(fieldname7 < 2000) return 0.05 * fieldname7;
		return 0.06 * fieldname7;
	}
})(), 2)

Best regards.

WOW! Thank you so much. You rock!
