RE: Am I missing something? Calculations...
actually evaluate is the way I went :) actually i did the evaluate within CFSETS and it worked just beautifully. -Original Message- From: Josh Black [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2000 5:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Am I missing something?

Ok I must be missing something I have not had to do this before so never really had to worry about it. I want to output a report that does a couple things 1 is it takes 2 fields (field a and field b) and divides them. I know how to do it in the SQL statement but I dont want to I would rather do it on output. I couldnt find any DIVIDE function in CF. So how would i do fielda/fieldb and have it output the RESULT. Then I want to do the same thing but take airport1.fielda and airport2.fielda and to the AVERAGE of the 2. Meaning airport1.fielda * airport2.fielda / 2.

RE: Am I missing something? Calculations...
This works exactly as you are asking for: cfset A = 3 cfset B = 7 cfset C = A / B cfoutput br #A# / #B# = #NumberFormat(C, ".99")# /cfoutput cfset D = 3 cfset E = 7 cfset F = (D * E)/2 cfoutput br (#D# * #E#) / 2 = #NumberFormat(F, ".99")# /cfoutput Try it out! -Original Message- From: Dick Applebaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2000 4:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Am I missing something?

RE: Am I missing something? Calculations...
Then I want to do the same thing but take airport1.fielda and airport2.fielda and to the AVERAGE of the 2. Meaning airport1.fielda * airport2.fielda / 2. Wouldn't the average be the two values ADDED not multiplied? But yes, Evaluate should work fine for this.
