 * New user. Love it. 🙂
 * But I cant seem to figure out how to “restrict” calculating to only when user
   input is ‘in’ range.
 * It ‘is’ throwing the error message when out of range, but still calculates anyway.
 * Example
    Fieldname1: Input Digits (55-80) Fieldname2: 1 Fieldname3: 5 Fieldname4:
   Calc button = “calculate” *** calc only if in range? Fieldname5: Output fieldname1*
   fieldname2+fieldname3
 * Thank you for your help -v

 * Hi,
 * The answer is very simple, you should to use conditional statements in the equation,
   like follow:
 * `IF( AND(55<=fieldname1, fieldname1<=80), fieldname1*fieldname2+fieldname3, '')`
 * If the condition is true: AND(55<=fieldname1, fieldname1<=80) the equation’s 
   result is: fieldname1*fieldname2+fieldname3, in other cases, the equation’s result
   is an empty text.
 * Best regards.
