Hi there im a 1 year electronics student in denmark which has this problem:

i have 2 values which i want to add (they are vairable) what i tourght i
could do was

text1.text = (example 0.0000004568 or 0.000000000100)
text2.text = (same example as above)
text3.text = result box
as you might have figured is that im trying to add forinstance 10pico(p)
with 1 micro(u)

CODE WHICH DOESNT WORK ???
text3.text = Val(text1.text) + Val(text2.text)

why do the above code doesnt work and what should i do ?
and how could i make the outcome in exponent for instance if the outcome is
0.0001 the it shoud read 1e-4 ??? how can i do this ?

Thanks alot for your reply !

    Text3.Text = Format(CDec(Text1.Text) + CDec(Text2.Text), "Scientific")

Perhaps you can use this

Try this:
val1# = val(text1.text)
val2# = val(text2.text)
text3 = str(val1 + val2)

Hope this helps

 Thanks the adding of 2 decimal numbers now work ! ! !

but im still having trouble converting the numbers from the following code
into prefix

'Frequency = 1 / T
Text7.Text = (1 / Ttp.Text) & " Hz"
Tf.Text = Format(CDec(Text7.Text), "Scientific")

(text7.text is an extra box which holds the code of the actual equation and
then Tf.text "should" show the PREFIX number it collected from text7.text)

And if its possible i would like to know to to convert the "Tf.text" from
above into "electro" langauge 500 p  (or pico) (example 12e-12 = 12p)

e6 = M = mega
e3 = K = kilo
e-3 = m = mili
e-6  = u = mirco
e-9 = n = nano
e-12 = p = pico

Thanks once again !

sorry to reply to my self twice but i have now corrected the exponent error
but im still trying to figure out how i can do this :
convert the "Tf.text" from "code below" into "electro" langauge 500 p  (or
pico) (example 12e-12 = 12p)    or said in plain english to convert
exponents into prefix like Kilo etc...

 e6 = M = mega
 e3 = K = kilo
 e-3 = m = mili
 e-6  = u = mirco
 e-9 = n = nano
 e-12 = p = pico

 Thanks once again !
