    Is it possible to reference a different record in a calculation. For example, calculate miles since last gas purchase by comparing current mileage to previous entry mileage?

    Hi Eric,

    Tap Forms can only reference field values from the current record. Sorry.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Brendan,

    Maybe at some point the calculated fields could be updated to included something like “previous value” or Current – n.

    In the Odometer case I wonder if setting a calculated filed to Maximum would work? Hmm, guess that it would break as soon as you entered a value in the current record. Oh well.
