Setting edit text to an equation.

Edit Value( "watts" )/1000

So I need to know what to do with this to make it set this to the text in a textbox. I've tried using quotes and I've looked at the help files but I cannot figure it out...

Str$( Val( Edittext$( "watts" ) )/1000.0 )

Using "Edit Value" is something I recommend you avoid, as it only returns an integer, not a float.

Adding the ".0" to "1000" ensures that the end result is not rounded down to a whole number. If you do want it as an integer, it's better to use round() anyway.

Thank you.

The key thing was Str$(), which converts a number to text.
