Display calculated field from linked form on main form

[Christian]

Hi

I’m currently re-building a database in tap forms, which I used with bento. Most of the things work pretty good or even better.

One thing I haven’t found so far is a way to display a calculated field from a linked form in my main form. In the attached screenshot, I have an example from my Bento file.
Basically I have a calculated field in my main form which is called “Anzahl Aufgaben” (Number of tasks). The calculation is in the form Operation | Form | Field, in this case I have the count of values in the field Titel in the related Aufgaben Library.

Is it possible to do this with tap forms, and if so, how?

Thank you for your help
Christian

Hi Christian,

I haven’t built the functionality to reference fields from linked forms from within a calculation formula. But you can get the total of a Link to Form field’s field by setting the Calculation Type property on the linked form. Then you will see it displayed at the bottom of the linked form’s list of records. Sorry if that sounded confusing. Basically when you see the table of records from a linked form, you can tell Tap Forms to display the grand totals below the records. Click the sigma button to show them.

Thanks,

Brendan

Thank you Brendan for your reply.

Do you have any plans to implement this or a similar functionality in TapForms?

Hi Christian,

Anything is possible given enough time and clones of me :-)

Thanks!
