Hi
I created a form which has 3 text boxes and 4 cmd buttons. user will enter number in the first box and another number in the second box and click on +,-,*, / buttons and the result will be in box 3. The -,*, and / work fine but I noticed the + is not.

If user enter 1 in the firstbox and 2 in the secondbox and click on + then the 3rd box will show 12 not 3 ! why is that? and why other operations are ok except +. Thank you very much

Code:
Private Sub plus_Click()
   dim x as integer
   x = first.Value + second.Value
   result.Value = x
End Sub

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Hi lezawang,

The code looks correct :confused: Maybe you've assigned the code that multiplies to the command button for adding?

Note that an Integer variable can only hold numbers in the range of -32,768 to 32,767 so you will receive an error if the total is outside this range.

Thanks for your reply. No that is not the case. Even if that the case then the result would have been 2 not 12
first number 1
second number is 2

the result should be 3 (if add)
or 2 if multiplication

but I am getting 12, that seems excel concatenating 1 and 2 that is why I am getting 12. Thanks

Hi, try using this:
x = CInt(first.Value) + CInt(Second.Value)
