Adding 2 custom Fields

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:49AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 4 comments

Hi Experts,

I have 2 custom Free form text fields which accepts decimal values. For example, 01.20 and 01.30. I want to add the numbers after the . and place the sum in third field. I am using the formula (TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SUBSTR({custbody31},4)),'999.99') + TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SUBSTR({custbody32},4)),'999.99'))

But when i am using the above formula the third field is displaying the concatenation of field 1 and 2 instead of addition. For Example, in stead of displaying 5(2+3) from the above example it is displaying 23. Please let me know the mistake in the above formula.

Howdy, Stranger!
