MaximumValue property

NumberField.MaximumValue — Number

Special value available in formulas:

Item

NumberField

The field this property is part of, enabling multiple checked items in the app designer to share the same formula and be updated all at once.

Consider the fields Field1 and Field2, which should only be considered to be valid if their values are greater than 4. Without using the Item value, the Valid property of Field1 would need to use the formula Field1 > 4Field1 > 4 and the Valid property of Field2 would need to use the formula Field2 > 4Field2 > 4.

Using Item, both formulas can read Item > 4Item > 4. This is useful if you have many fields and you want to be able to update their formulas all at once. To do so, click their check boxes in Calcapp Creator and make sure that a checked field is selected. Then, when you update a formula for one checked field, you update all the other checked fields too, which is a great timesaver.

Use Item in exactly the same way you'd use the regular name. Field1.VisibleField1,Visible and Item.VisibleItem,Visible are equivalent, for instance.

The maximum value of the number field this property is associated with. If the value is greater than the maximum value, the number field is considered invalid and the Valid property returns FALSE. Blank values are considered valid. Set a minimum value through the MinimumValue property.

If there is a maximum or minimum value, any value or formula associated with the Valid property is ignored.

Example

Field1 * 10Field1 * 10

Sets the maximum value to the value of Field1, multiplied by 10. If the value of the field this property is associated with is greater than this value, the field is considered invalid.
