Option Feild Text Value in IF statement

I have 6 options, each are unique (Text Field), but have similar values on submit

I need a hidden field to have a value calculated based on the option selected

EG

Option 1 – This is an Option – Value on submit = 5
Option 2 – This is another Option – Value on Submit = 6
Option 3 – This is a Third option – Value on Submit = 7
Option 4 – This is the forth Option – Value on Submit = 5
Option 5 – This is the Fifth Option – Value on Submit = 6
Option 6 – This is the last option – Value on submit = 6

If (fieldname3 ==”This is an Option” , fieldname3.val * 0.25, 0)

Do a hidden field for all 6 options (one each) and then added them all together to get the right value

Thanks in advance

Hello @stuart981

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand totally your form’s structure, or why you need six hidden calculated fields.

Could you send me the link to the page where the form is inserted, please?

Best regards.

I need to do a if else statement as in Javascript, for example

if (fieldname3 ==”This is an Option” ) {

Then Do calc on Value on submit of Option

}else if (fieldname3 ==”This is another Option” ) {

Then Do calc on Value on submit of Option

}else if (fieldname3 ==”This is a Third option” )

Then Do calc on Value on submit of Option …..etc

Hello @stuart981

You can implement the equation exactly in the same way you are describing it:
```
(function(){
    if(fieldname3 == 'This is an Option'){
        return ...;
    }else if(fieldname3 =='This is another Option'){
        return ...;
    }else if(fieldname3 =='This is a Third option'){
        return ...;
    }
})()
```
Replacing the symbols … by the corresponding mathematical operations.

Another alternative, using the “switch” operation:
```
(function(){
    switch(fieldname3)
    {
      case 'This is an Option':
        return ...;
      break;
      case 'This is another Option':
        return ...;
      break;
      case 'This is a Third option':
        return ...;
      break; 
    }
})()
```
Best regards.

That works perfectly for the submitted value, so if i check the submitted vale then i can do the calculation, however i want to check the text value as the submit value is the same for some options. I am assuming that i have to submit the text as a string and use the statement to define the value that was previously submitted?

Hello @stuart981

The equations are entered through the “Set Equation” attribute in the settings of calculated fields.

A hypothetical equation would be:
```
(function(){
    if(fieldname3 == 'This is an Option'){
        return fieldname2*3;
    }else if(fieldname3 =='This is another Option'){
        return fieldname2*5;
    }else if(fieldname3 =='This is a Third option'){
        return fieldname2*10;
    }
})()
```
Best regards.

Hello @stuart981

In the settings of the DropDown, Checkbox and Radio buttons fields it is possible to configure if submit the value or text of choices selected.
