I am creating a scripted field ' **popular**' as the division of two Integer fields as below:

if (doc['age'].value) \> 0  
doc['popular'].value = doc['o.nbd'].value / doc['age'].value;  
else  
doc['popular'].value = -1;

However, after i submitted, Kibana does not load the index anymore. **"There are errors in your input"**. After i delete the script field, it can load back again alright.

I am wondering if I have any errors in my script above?

Hi Allie,

Try an expression like this;

```
(doc['age'].value) > 0 ? doc['o.nbd'].value / doc['age'].value : -1

```

Please let me know if this works.

Regards,  
Lee
