Second post on here from a noob! I have made an app that I want a field(Running Balance) to remain when the app is closed. I've kinda managed it but it doesn't quite work as expected.
What I want to happen is when I open it I can then subtract a figure from the called Running Balance but when I do the first figure is added not subtracted, it seems to recall another figure that I stored the first time, not the one I closed with last time. It works for the next figure to be subtracted.
Here are my blocks - be kind I've only been doing this for 24 hours and I'm in my late 60s so not an up-to-date spring chicken!
What is Stored.Text? Use a text block and a constant value as tag, for example the text balance
70 is always your start value? Then valueIfTagNotThere should be 70
Store the value of the balance after each transaction, i e. In event Log_Spend
Running balance and opening balance always is equal? To have only one balance would be sufficient then
Hi Taifun, not sure if this resolves my issue, let me give you some more information.
The app is to track weekly spending budget. I start the week with £70 and then subtract what I spend during the week to make sure I don't overspend (I'm a pensioner).
So when I hit reset button the running balance should reset to £70. If I then spend £5 and hit log the running balance reduces to £65. Before, if I closed the app the running balance would reset.
What I want it to do is remember the running balance of £65 when I close and reopen it, then if I spend another £3 it goes to £62 in the running balance and so forth until I hit reset when it will go back to £70 for the start of the second week.
Here is the design -
