Dynamically populate text field based on result of on-the-fly calculation?

Hello.

 

I am attempting to create a hazard assessment form.

 

I have three drop-down lists, Exposure, Probability and Severity, respectively, that assign a numeric value to each of these.

 

Exposure can be ranked from 5 (most severe) to 1 (least severe).

Probabiliy can be ranked from 5 (most probable) to 1 (least probable).

Severity can be ranked from 10 (most severe), 5, 4, 3 and 2 (least severe).

 

Risk Cassification is a numeric field whose value is dynamically determined by calculating the sum of these three values. I have this as a calculate event in FormCalc, and the field is a numeric field set as Calculated - Read Only.

 

I would like to assign a text value to add context to the calculated value of the Risk Classification field. This is where I'm running into difficulty. I have a text field called Classification and it is set to Calculated - Read Only.

 

I've tried to do this using a variety of methods and events in FormCalc and also using the Action Builder. I haven't' had any luck.

 

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

 

Risk Classification (calculated on the fly)
Text to display
16-20Extreme
11-15High
6-10Moderate
3-5Low

 

In other words, the numeric value of the calculation is displayed, and next to it, in a text field, I would also like to display the corresponding text for that rating.

 

I've referred to another post to come up with the following FormCalc code, invoked through a change/exit event on the Risk Classification field:

 

if (16 le $.rawValue le 20) then

     Classification = "Extreme";

elseif (11 le $.rawValue le 15) then

     Classification = "High";

elseif (6 le $.rawValue le 10) then

     Classification = "Moderate";

elseif (3 le $.rawValue le 5) then

     Classification = "Low";

else

     Classification = null;

endif

 

 

As I say, to this point, this code does not work.
