I want to log the edit history for a Numeric field. I tried creating FORMULA-TEXT field. But using that i can log only last edit details. But i want to log all the edit history for that Numeric Field. 

Currently QuickBase supports logging edits only for Text Fields. Is there any way i can do that for a Numeric Field. Also, i dont want the user to see that edit history on the form. I want the edit history to be visible to Admin only.

There isn't necessarily a field setting that can log number changes - but you can use Automations as a pseudo-log - and whenever your number changes, there is a built in way with automations to track the 'old' value and you can write that old value into a different field. Just pop that new field as an admin only field and you're all set.

Murali,
If all data entry is done on a form, you can have a text field with logging enables and have a form rule

When he record is saved
and
[My field] has changed

Change [My logging] field
to the value in the field [field to be logged]

You may need to have a new field called [My field to be logged in text format]
with a formula of ToText([My field to be logged]])
 and use that to be written to the logged field.
