Front end calculations


PackDaddy

Question

I'm wondering if there is a way for a calculation to be done after an entry is made by a user on the front end of the site. 

Example: What is the weight of these 3 objects on Mars or the moon

I have 3 values for weight: 10lbs, 20lbs, 30lbs
I have 3 calculations for a planet/moon: Earth (just uses the original weights), moon (Weights*16.5%), Mars (Weight*38%)

I'd like to have a person use a drop down menu to choose either earth (default) moon, or mars and the weights would change on the front end based on the calculation

I also can't just make all 9 calculations on my sheet because on my actual spreadsheet there will be hundreds of entries that I don't want to replicate, and also, both the values and calculations can change.

Thank you

On a submission DataPage, where the user adds value for the field you want to save the calculation value in you, can select  "Calculated Value". Create your formula there and for the selected values on the for select the fields from the picker that looks like an arrow key facing down

Hi @PackDaddy,

I've created a sample Datapage with your workflow so that you can download and import it to your account so that you can see how it works. Please see the attached file

Earth

Moon

MARS

What I did are the following:

1. I've created virtual fields to allow the user to enter the weight of each the objects, and allow them to select the Space Object (Earth, Moon, Mars)

2. Then I've created an HTML block to display the message

3. After that, I've added the fields from my table that will get its value from the user input.

Here is the sample Case WHEN statement

CASE

WHEN '[@cbParamVirtual1]' = 'Earth' THEN [@cbParamVirtual2]

WHEN '[@cbParamVirtual1]' = 'Moon' THEN [@cbParamVirtual2] * 0.165

WHEN '[@cbParamVirtual1]' = 'Mars' THEN [@cbParamVirtual2] * 0.38

END

I hope this helps.
