Text calculation or Math calculation? (or neither)

Hi!
I have a field with a numeric result. Depending on the number that appears, the user receives one message or another. For example: (We will call the numeric field, [1]). If [1] is less than 18.5, «message A»; if [1] is less than 25, «message B»; if [1] is less than 27, «message C».
If I put it as a text calculation, it doesn't work; and if I put it as a numeric calculation, it gives me an error. Example of calculation: ([1] < 18.5) ? (message A) : ([1] < 25) ? (message B) : ([1] < 27) ? (message C).

Please, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

Where are you trying to do the calculation? Are you trying to use conditionals with the email form action?

Hi, @Victor Font. I've created a hidden field for the calculation to be performed, with the intention of including it later in the email response. Thanks!

Let us separate the calculated value and the message. Use the hidden field to simply take the calculated value. Wherever you want to display the message add multiple conditional shortcodes.

Example:
[if x greater_than="0" less_than="6"]Add your content here[/if x]
[if x greater_than="5" less_than="11"]Add your content here[/if x]
