Cannot Get Simple Calculation to Work

    Basically all I wanted to do is have a user enter in a number, and then I want the plugin to divide that number by 1900 and display the total, but I cannot figure out how to set it up.

    I have a calculated field within my form with the “Set Equation” as:
    fieldname3 / 1900

    I’ve read through the Equations Format section and I cannot figure out how to display the total.

    Hi,

    Could you send me the link to the webpage where the form has been inserted to check its structure and the equations, please?

    Best regards.

    Hi,

    You cannot use a field for input, and calculate to itself. You should insert a field for entering the value (in your case I recommend to use a Number field), and a calculated field with the equation, furthermore, the structure of the fields names are: fieldname#, and not only fieldname.

    For example, if the Number field is the fieldname1, the equation associated to the calculated field would be:

    fieldname1/1900

    Best regards.
