I have a textbox in a form that I created.
I want to add an expression in the textbox's Control Source property. I also want to bind the textbox to a field in the table using Control Source propety of the textbox.
Is there any way I can add a field name and an expression in the control source property of a particular textbox?
The expression sums up the total amount a customer must pay based on the price and amount.
I tried solving this problem by looking at solutions on stackoverflow from people with the same problem but that didnt work for me either.
I know that storing calculated fields is bad, but I have to do it.

I need to change two columns in a Sales Order's item line section (bottom of the page) in NetSuite: https://i.ibb.co/27vx9Dr/2019-06-20-10-41-13-Window.png
It feels like the solution ties these two together as they are both perceived as item line fields or "Sublist Fields" (according to NetSuite's customization form page).
INVENTORY DETAIL needs to be enabled or set to "normal" so I can be able to specify bins associated from my selected item or be able to interact and fill in this column at the basic level.
AMOUNT needs to be set as "inline-text" so that other people handling sales orders cannot disturb it at all and still be able to see the value of this particular column.
I have attempted to search through Customization > Lists, Records & Fields and searched the following options: (which I thought were relevant to the fields that I wanted to modify)
Item Fields to no success
Transaction Body Fields to no success
Transaction Line Fields found out that AMOUNT and INVENTORY DETAIL are both padlocked
I also attempted to search through Customization > Forms and I have spent a long time looking through my Sales Order custom transaction form (possibly missing out on menus unintentionally) to no success.
I know that inside Customization > Forms > Entry Forms there is an Inventory Detail form in there that shows exactly the window I'm expecting, but I haven't figured out how to customise anything in the columns item line for transaction forms yet so I can create a custom column containing a link to INVENTORY DETAIL simulating the typical behavior of the original one while hiding the disabled one.
Near the top of a Sales Order form, I went to Customise > Customise Form and found out that I can find both AMOUNT and INVENTORY DETAIL inside the Sublist Fields tab.
Unfortunately, it only has SHOW toggles and this does not do what I need for it to do.
It is clear that I am confusing Sublist Fields with Screen Fields where I expected there would typically be a DISPLAY TYPE column that bears the drop-down selections containing "Normal", "Inline-Text" and "Disabled" options.
In actuality, they have SHOW checkbox toggles for both INVENTORY DETAIL and AMOUNT where the AMOUNT checkbox is greyed out. (This still does not achieve or reflect what I need it to do)
I am unaware of the conditions that needs to be met for AMOUNT to behave as an inline-text. There is probably another condition that needs to be met for the INVENTORY DETAIL column to be made available somehow.
I admit that I missed something crucial, so please kindly mention about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was able to create a new column by creating a Transaction Line Field that contains two separate fields which are applied to Sales Orders.
For the INVENTORY DETAIL, I went to Customization > Entry Forms and copied the link for "Standard Inventory Detail Form" and then produced my own HTML code inside the Default Value when creating a new Transaction Line Field.
For AMOUNT, I created a new transaction line field and then set the Default Value as the appropriate value found in https://system.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/srbrowser/Browser2018_1/schema/record/billingaccount.html and I used the curly bracket notation {} to fetch the data for the edittable AMOUNT but changed the Access to View-only, which makes this exactly what I needed.
After previewing the changes into an existing Sales Order, I can see my results reflected as expected. Consider this question solved.
I am trying to display a list of open indents with check boxes before them each line. Based on the selection a report will be generated next with further details.
Table: xxind_mstr (xxind_nbr, xxind_shipto, xxind_askedby, xxind_date).
Is there any way that I can bring the records from xxind_mstr and place them in the FORM with check boxes ?
Note: This only works if dynamic. Never hardcode this approach.
Name each check box with the value of ROWID(xxind_mstr).
This way on the post you can read back through the each xxind_mstr getting the value of the the rowid.

I'd like some more info, just to know if I'm not talking rubbish here. You want to display the records in xxind_mstr as checkboxes, then upon selection of the report setup, fire the report respecting the checkboxes flagged? If so, then I'd use a browse pre-built with a temp-table containing the xxind_mstr records, and a "flagged" field, this being a logical view-as checkbox, and when they run the report, do a
FOR EACH ttxxind_mstr WHERE flagged = true, and you should have what you want.
I am trying to remove duplicated sections of a report. currently I am using the previous() function to do this however I am finding that this removes all references to the field passed into this function. I still want to retrieve the first section it comes across.
Thanks
In Section expert, choose the right section (Details I do suppose) click the Formula button close to the Suppress field;
Then type (you can drop field name from available fields)
{...yourfield}=previous{...yourfield}
(this mean that this section will be suppressed if some field, i.e. "id" is identical to previous one)
I would be careful doing the previous() I've used this in the past and noticed it sometimes doesn't display any of the repeated data including the original data until I found a way around it.
Instead try using a unique field for the group but also make sure your table relationships(joins) are set up correctly to reflect what data you want to return.
For example (I'm with education) so I deal with learners and qualifications.
If I want to display learner qualifications I would do it as follows:
Relationship - Learner ---> L_Quals
Create a group, grouped by Learner.learnerID
Create another group, grouped by L_Quals.QualRef
Suppress the details section
Now this will display like this:
LearnerID
-Qualref1
-Qualref2
If I was to show the qualifications in the details section and had other tables linked up this could get a little messy with repeating qualrefs and such
Hope this resolves
I am trying to perform an aggregation on a calculated Field in SSRS and am getting the following error:
[rsAggregateReportItemInBody] The Value expression for the textrun 'Textbox43.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers
This is the formula I tried to use:
=Sum(ReportItems!PlanPurchPrice.Value, "Select_UCPUtilization")
In this Case PlanPurcPrice is also an Expression:
=First(Fields!PawPlanPurchPrice.Value, "Select_UCPUtilization")
Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
SSRS 2008 does not support the functionality you are looking for unless the report item is located in the header or footer (as is stated in the error message). I would, instead, propose two alternate solutions:
First Option
Place the calculation in your query (if possible) at which point you can then reference the field and the aggregate will work as desired.
Second Option
You essentially want to create the aggregate you're looking to return elsewhere in the report where it is directly connected to the Select_UCPUtilization scope, then reference the aggregated value elsewhere. Follow these steps:
Within the same scope as report item PlanPurchPrice, calculate a sum of the PlanPurchPrice. Name the textbox containing the aggregate something meaningful (e.g., Sum_PlanPurchPrice).
Reference that textbox directly wherever you were trying to use the ReportItems sum before (i.e., =ReportItems!Sum_PlanPurchPrice.Value)
Hide the workaround. Place the aggregate you created in an additional column or row attached to the Select_UCPUtilization scope. Turn the text white, turn off growth and shrinkage, and make the row very tiny (a pixel or two high).
Using the second option, the report item does exist (and is visible, which is important) on the report and contains the sum you are looking to return elsewhere.
Hope this helps. if this doesn't make sense, please reply via comment and I'll help you to the best of my ability.
I am already using Filemaker Pro 10, I have two questions:
I have a text field in a portal, and whenever I am entering values like "B12C45" in it, it works well, but when the string is longer like "BC12F42, B45z87" it doesn't show whole the strings and omits the letters from it. what Can I do?
My second question is that: I have a portal in a layout, in this portal every row has an id sometimes the id is repeated in other rows but the value of another field called Position is changing. Now I want to have those rows of this portal which have the same id in another layout. I have tried using scripts for it, but scripts don't work well in this case, and they are entering whole the portal in the new layout not the parts I want . How can I write a script which does this?
I will really appreciate any help.
For the first question there are many ways you could display more data in a field and the best one will depend on the particular implementation in your database. There are three main ways to solve this problem: field-size adjustments, text-size adjustments and programming adjustments to dynamically change the text-size.
Field-size adjustments include:
Making the field longer
Using the autosizing aspect of a field so that as the window grows, so does the field
Text-size adjustments include:
Making the font size for that field smaller.
Setting the font style for that field to condensed.
Programatically, though, three things stand out to me as possibilities. I like the third one the best for most of my solutions:
Set the tooltip for the field to "Self" (without the quotes). A user can see the entire contents of the field by hovering the mouse over the field.
In "Define Database" set the field's calculated value to: "TextStyleAdd(self;Condense)" (without the quotes) and make certain that "Do not replace existing value of field" is turned off
Use Conditional formatting to add the Condense style or use a smaller font when the number of the characters in the field gets long.
The steps for using conditional formatting are as follows:
In layout mode select the field and select 'Conditional Formatting...' from the pop-up menu
Add a new condition
Change the condition to 'Formula is'
In the text field enter "Length(Self) > 8" (without the quotes)
Press the "More Formatting..." button
Select "Condense" as the Style from the text
You can add multiple conditions, so you might have "Condense" only for Length(Self) > 8 and another condition for Length(Self) > 16 where you set both "Condense" and reduce the Font Size.
As for your second question, I'm not able to get a picture of what you're trying to do from the question you asked. You might be able do the following in a script:
Go to Related Record [the portal relationship]
Sort Records [by ID]
And then use a summary field (Count of ID) to determine how many of each ID you have.
If you clarified what you were trying to do, gave more information about your tables and table occurrences, we might be able to provide a better answer for this instance.
