#Forms I'm using the following JavaScript to calculate a number in my form:

sswilliams
#Forms I'm using the following JavaScript to calculate a number in my form:
window.FormAPI.setValue('number10', (window.FormAPI.getValue("number8").id * window.FormAPI.getValue("radio9").id));
The value needs to be displayed with 2 decimal places 0.89 instead of 0.89999999. The value is calculated dynamically on the form. Is there a way I can do this in Appian v6.6.1 using JavaScript?
I tried FormAPI.setFormatValue('text11',(window.FormAPI.getValue("text11").id),#.##); on the event rules (load) for the form, and I'm getting an exception error. Thanks......

    Going back to your original code here's how you can do it using the JavaScript native Math.round() function:

    var operandOne = window.FormAPI.getValue("number8").id;
    var operandTwo = window.FormAPI.getValue("radio9").id;
    window.FormAPI.setValue('number10',Math.round(operandOne * operandTwo * 100) / 100 );

    Here's an example you can test with, just import this form in any model and test by typing something on number8, then selecting a value in cto see how number10 gets the result of rounding number8*radio9 to two decimals forum.appian.com/.../108750
