Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)
This simple function performs the 4 basic operations so you can use it as an autoenter calculation in a number field to enter not just numbers but operations between them. For example, if you want to input an initial balance in a number field you can input the actual number or the difference between Income and Outcome.
To avoid security issues with the evaluate function, it filters all values and keep only the numbers and the basic operators (+-*/).
Enjoy!!!.

| This function may fail if you enter numbers with commas like $1,230+50.55. I changed the filter to remove commas and allow a few other math expressions. Let (Final = Filter ( Expression ; "().+-*/^0123456789" ) ; Evaluate ( Final ) ) This may then affect the ability to work in different countries. |
