Multiply 4 numeric values
I'm trying to create a business potential calculator in Storyline 360 that multiplies 4 numerical values (NV for below) to result in a dollar amount. Below is what I'm trying to accomplish.
NV1 x NV2 x NV3 x NV4 = NV $Amount
I'm having trouble coming up with variables and triggers for the Calculate button as I can only multiply one variable with just one other variable rather than multiple variable. I've seen some tutorials on adding up numbers behind the scenes or calculating with only 2 variables, but I'm unable to find something that can multiply 4 numbers together to get a result.
I'm creating this in a table so each NV has a descriptor on the slide.
I'm at beginner level with using variables, so any way to make this easy to understand would be fantastic.
Much appreciated!
It's true that you can only perform one math calculation per trigger. That means you'll need multiple triggers to multiply 4 numbers.
For example.
- Use NV1, NV2, NV3, and NV4 as the variable names for the 4 values to be multiplied.
- Also create a numeric variable (e.g., NV_calc) for the calculated amount.
- Trigger 1: Set NV_calc to the value of NV1
- Trigger 2: Multiple NV_calc by the value of NV2
- Trigger 3: Multiple NV_calc by the value of NV3
- Trigger 4: Multiple NV_calc by the value of NV4
The NV_calc variable will update with each trigger.
Note: Access the operators by clicking that part of the trigger wizard.
