    Question Field calculations using values from square footage attributes

    i have a building label block with a few attributes in it - building name, tenant type, square footage, and parking requirements. the building name / type are just attributes. the square footage is linked to the polyline of the building outline. the parking provided is linked to a table that calculates the parking based on parking count blocks in the drawing. the required parking is the one i am having trouble with. i would like it to take the information from the square footage field, and then divide by a factor - usually 200 and output that number, rounded up to the nearest whole number. if it cant round its not a huge issue, the table this is all extracted to isnt seen, it is just to put all the data in one place so i can access it quickly. i am not sure how to set up the formula to read the information from the square footage attribute and then calculate it.

    attached is a drawing (2004 format) with all of this in it. i am using ADT 2007,

    thanks in advance

    Not sure whether I followed you correctly. Check the new field value (inside red rectangle) right under the squre foot field in the updated drawing. I have made some modifications to your existing square foot field.

    Insert the field inside the Req_Parking attribute of the Building_Label block. Hope that clears your problem. See the attached drawing.
