How to Delete Background Calculation in a Form

    Asked on June 12, 2020 at 11:48 AM

    Hi,

    The form I have built is for customers to order food items. There is a dropdown field for the number of items to be selected.

    I only want certain fields on the form to calculate a monetary value for the items being ordered. Other fields to not add a monetary value to the overall total.

    The form I am using is a modified form I have copied. All fields have a background calculation and I do not know how to delete the calculation formula in that field.

    Please advise.

    Many Thanks

    Julia

    Greetings Julia,

    All the calculations in your form are performed by Form Calculation widget:

    So, for Total field it calculates and displays the following: fields with the same price are grouped, selected quantities are summed up from dropdown options, then multiplied by corresponding price and total sum is calculated.

    You can update/modify that calculations according your needs. You can also check this guide:

    Alternatively, you can share with us exact logic/calculations you want to perform (i.e. what to get in the Total field), so we will suggest corresponding modifications.
