Question

Currency difference

Forms

Updated November 8, 2019

asked on November 8, 2019

I have two currency fields in Forms with thousands delimiter set. I am using below java script to calculate the percentage of change between those 2 amounts. It gives as NaN. How do I use javascript to calculate the percentage correctly?

var num1 = $('.payrate input').val();
var num2 = $('.currentsalary input').val();

var result = (num1) - (num2);

result = result / num2;
result = round(result);

Thanks

If the fields are displaying with the thousands delimiter, then you need to remove the delimiter(s) when you retrieve the values otherwise it will be treated as text and not a number.

For example (with a comma delimiter),

$('.currentsalary input').val().replace(/,/g,"")

However, why don't you just use Calculations instead? You can use the built-in calculations to do the same math without requiring custom JavaScript.
