  • 0

I have a DBGrid and I´m trying to do a billing sheet but sometimes it doesn’t do the calculations. How can I avoid that?? 

procedure TOrcamentos.DBGridEh1ColExit(Sender: TObject);
var
  percent: double;
  Unid: double;
  tot: currency;
  vaz: string;
begin
  if Dorcamen_SUB.DataSet.State in [dsEdit, dsInsert] then
    try  
      Dorcamen_SUB.DataSet.Post;
    finally
      vaz := DBGridEh1.Columns[3].Field.text;
      if (vaz<> '') then
        try
          Torcamen_SUB.Edit;
          Unid := (Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName('QT').AsFloat);
          tot := (Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName('Precovenda').AsFloat);
          percent := (Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName('Desconto').AsFloat);
          try
            tot := tot+(tot * percent)/ 100;
          finally
            Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName('Total').AsFloat := unid*tot;
            Torcamen_SUB.Post;
            Orcamentos.TotalExecute(self);
          end;
        except
        end;
    end;
end;

    The better way to implement calculations is actually to move the calculation to your TTable component that the grid is linked to. The Total field shouldn’t actually be a field in the database since but rather a calculated field based on values from other fields. Simply add an extra field using the field editor of the table, type in the field name Total, select the correct datatype and then select the field type as Calculated. Click Ok and then add code similar to this for the OnCalcField event of the table:

    Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName(‘Total’).AsFloat := Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName(‘QT’).AsFloat * (
    Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName(‘Precovenda’).AsFloat + (Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName(‘Precovenda’).AsFloat * Torcamen_SUB.FieldByName(‘Desconto’).AsFloat)/100) ;

    A general rule of thumb is that calculated values shouldn’t be saved to the database unless really really necessary. It’s best to simply add them as calculated fields to the dataset and then link the grid to the dataset. All calculated fields will then be displayed in the grid and each row will show the correct calculated value based on the values for that row.
