    Multiple Calculations issues not being resolved Image 10I am dealing with a variety of factors on my form, the final calculation for a total amount to be paid, or donated, come for items that have fixed amounts, but may also have a quantity. ( I used the inventory widget for that and have indicated the mount in the settings. Other boxes will have an amount to be filled in by the submitter. and a third type will be a single button choice. I have not been able to determine if it would be best to use the Conditional feature, but have difficulty figuring out the entire process. I would really appreciate your support. I have been working on this for several months.

    I have followed all instructions, watched a dozen or more videos, read many posts related to similar issues, and have spent numerous hours editing and trying different ways.

    Is it because I have a free account for this particular organization? Please tell me how I can receive more personalized support.

    Hi there,

    Having a paid or free account does not make any difference. All support requests are handled equally. I've checked your form and there are only two calculation values that I see. You are using the form calculation widget to calculate the total amount however the plus sign is missing in the calculation. Here is how you can add it.

    You've not added calculation values in the rest of the options so I'm not sure which fields are you trying to use for calculations. Kindly share screenshots in your reply with the explanation of your requirement so we can understand it better and assist you further.

    Thanks

    It is getting a lot clearer to me now, but I had to totally revise my form to make it work.

    However the calculations do not add up.

    I have tested all options, either together or individually. 

    Under Student Sponsorship, if I click in the option for $135.00, the total donation amount adds up to 5940


    Whenever I enter a number under Other Donations, or delta the number the Total Donation amount keeps adding.


    I like to have a calculation in all of the following options

    - Any student Sponsorship when button is clicked

    - Predetermined amount for part sponsorship entered

    - Either one of the amounts under the Volunteer Week

    - Any amount entered under the Other Donations


    Could you help me with that please


    Thanks Elly
