A question on how to perform calculations
in a user form by one of our website visitors, Marshall
Dear Dinesh,
I want the user to input the Gas Units in a user-form – say
12724 and have this multiplied by a fixed number, say 3.521p and
divided by 100 to get pounds.
Now input the Gas day rate – say 20.71p and have this multiplied by 365
and divided by 100 to get pounds.
The results of these 2 calc is automatically shown in the Total Gas per
year text box.
Repeat this process for Electric with the results for the 2 calcs
shown in the Total Electric per year text box: Electricity Day rate is
28.31, Electricity units are 6350.
Finally, these 2 results shown automatically in the Total Gas &
Total electric box by adding them together.

The details of creating an user form have been explained earlier. The
main thing to remember about text-boxes
is that they hold text data
even when you enter numbers. The data has to be converted into numbers
using the 'val' function.
