numero = 24081
interpreted = N
texte = I ran into a similar problem when trying to add a markup to my shipping costdepending on the weight of a product. So basically I was trying to do somethinglike this:[showif [weight] is greater than or equal to 1 pound AND [weight] is less thanor 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 yago. 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.>>
