Find difference between 2 values C2

Hi Community,

I'm trying to display the difference in Text between 2 values (in theory, it should work) but i feel a little lost with C2.

If I were to do this in Microsoft Excel.

Cell A1 = 10

Cell A2 = input (what ever value)

Cell A3 = A2-A1

-- so if I were to input 4, then 6 would be the Output (providing the val was 10) --

In C2:

Global number var1 = 10

Textbox (for input)

Text for output

I guess I need to somehow Textbox - var1 and show in Text

I've a feeling COMPARE might come into it somehow. I tried adding an instance variable to Textbox (you can see where I'm getting my wires crossed)

Thanks for your help,

Roberto

Hello RobertoFreemano,

This should do:

Thank you kriand. I thought it might be something like this - you're a star!

Hi kriand,

would it be possible to compare Text_Output to variable1 ?

like:

if output < var1 then something

elseif >

then something else

I'm not sure that 'compare Text' works in this way... I'm trying a few things out.

Thanks,

Roberto

I also removed var1 and set an instance_variable on Text_variable - just so i could use compare.

Thats possible. Just make sure that you set the TextInput/TextBox Type to "Number" and that you have to convert the string to a number type (float, int...) before comparing.

Thanks kriand
