numero = 24081

texte = I ran into a similar problem when trying to add a markup to my shipping cost depending on the weight of a product. So basically I was trying to do something like this:[showif [weight] is greater than or equal to 1 pound AND [weight] is less than or equal to 5 pounds][math] [shipCost]+1[/math] [/showif]So if the weight was 4 pounds it would show [math][shipCost]+1[/math]I ended up doing something like this: [showif [weight]>0][showif [weight]<6]mark up 1 dollar[/showif][/showif] [showif [weight]>5][showif [weight]<10]mark up 2 dollars[/showif][/showif] [showif [weight]>10][showif [weight]<20]mark up 4 dollars[/showif][/showif] [showif [weight]>20][showif [weight]<50]mark up 6 dollars[/showif][/showif]So if the weight=30 pounds it would show mark up 6 dollarsThis seems to work. I'm not sure if this helps your dilema or not but there ya go. Working with ranges gives me a headache :)BrantBen Weinberg wrote:> I have set up a table with the heading cells set to show dates starting with > 1/1/99 and incrementing by 7 days per cell. > > There is a varable in each item record that is formatted as a date. > > I want to use the showif context to display some data in the record if the > date variable is between date1 and date2 . . . but can't get the comparison > to work. > > [math date] week1={01/01/1999}[/math] > [format days_to_date %m/%d/%Y][math] > week2=[week1]+7[/math][/format] > (and so on) > > > [showif [Shipdate]ge[week1]][Minutes][/showif] > > My above comparison is just testing one week and it doesn't work.
