    hello,

    I would like to know if the form could take the value of a field from a previous form and extract the difference that is obtained.

    Hi Luis,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Yes, it is possible to pass a field value from one form to another. Here's a user guide on how to do that.

    After passing the value, you can use the Form Calculation widget on Form 2 to calculate multiple fields. For example, the data that was passed from Form 1 is prefilled in a text input field, you just need to use that field in the formula and calculate it with another field. Here's a user guide on how to use the Form Calculation widget.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
