How to Perform Form Calculation in the Input Table Element

Last Update: 

The Input Table element can be found in the Basic tab of the Form Elements panel.

In this guide, we will set up a survey questionnaire with ratings using the Input Table element and then calculate the total rating using the Form Calculation widget. Let’s start.

  1. Add an Input Table element to your form.

For the purpose of this guide, we’ll be using the Input Table’s default setup.

  1. Click the gear icon to open the properties panel.
  2. Go to the Options tab.
  3. Define the values in the Calculations Values field.
form-builder-input-table-calculation-values-min
Separate each column with a comma and each row with a new line.

Note

The Calculation Values option only works on radio button and checkbox input type.

  1. For the calculations, add a Form Calculation widget to your form.

For more information, check out the How to Perform Form Calculation Using a Widget guide.

  1. Open the widget settings panel by clicking the wand icon.
  2. Click Add Field then choose the Input Table.

  1. Select the sub-fields to use in the calculations.

This will add the sub-fields in the calculation screen without operators.

  1. Complete the formula then click the Save button to save the changes.

Get the sum of all sub-fields.
