    I have a form that I use for my craft sales. I am trying to do a calculation that will keep track of my charges over several days of sales. I am missing a step somewhere. I assigned it as a calculation field, but all I get is a calculator. Where do you put the formula in?? I’ve done this before so I know it works. Thanks! Renee

    Hello Renee

    Hmm… I thought I replied to you on my Facebook page on October 19th.

    Anyway, I’ll past that info here too:

    For that you’ll need to use the aggregate calculation function. On the Edit Form screen, tap on Calculation. Pick your field to calculate on and pick Total. You’ll now see the results at the bottom of the record list view for your form.

    If you truly do want a calculation field, when you see the calculator view, swipe to the left to reveal the number fields that you can pick from. Then tap on a field to add that to your calculation, then tap on an operator to add that to your calculation, then tap on another field or digits, etc. That’s how you build up a formula. Then Tap Forms will calculate the value of your formula as you edit the fields which are part of the formula in the calculation field.

    Thanks!
