CF Question "Newbie"

[WebGodiva]

I have two fields on one form that I need to run calculations on.

1. Current Annual Salary x 2080 = Rate
2. Old Annual Salary x 2080 = Rate

Then I need to divide the old rate by the new rate to determine the precentage of increase.

I have no idea how to do this in CF or if it is even possible.

The result of the second calculation (the & increase) will show in the results.cfm page.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help. Hope this helped!

<cfset Current_Annual_Salary=25000>
<cfset Old_Annual_Salary=20000>

<cfset rate_Current = Current_Annual_Salary*2080>
<cfset rate_Old = Old_Annual_Salary*2080>

<cfset Increase_Percentage = rate_Old/rate_Current>

Increase Percentage: <cfoutput>#Increase_Percentage#</cfoutput> Sylvano

looks great, one question, can I set the current_annual_salary to receive the input from the form?

i.e.,
<cfset rate_Current = #form.rate_Current#*2080>

Thanks Hope this helped!

You can use the <CFSET> to help you in your calculation.

<CFSET rate1 = 1234>
<CFSET rate2 = 4567>
<CFSET rate = rate1 / rate2>

Try it out
