Lucia Lao Apr 30, 2014 10:07 AM (in response to TO1)Hi,
Sorry, automatic calculation is not supported on a FormsCentral form when authoring the form (that is when you are creating the form in Design tab).
However, you can add formula in the View Responses table for the responses that you collect, or the generated PDF form by editing via Adobe Acrobat.
Please write back if you have futher questions,
thanks,
Lucia

TO1 Jul 9, 2014 11:43 PM (in response to Lucia Lao)Hello again!
Lucia, you mentioned that I can edit the form in Adobe and then add Formulas. How do I do that? Can I get a description on how to do that?

Lucia Lao Jul 16, 2014 6:23 PM (in response to TO1)Hi,
If you asking about Acrobat form, you could edit the form (select Tools/Forms/Edit) then try to edit the field (double click on the fied and then select the sub-tab "Calculate", here you can set the value of the field to be a sum or the other fields. If you choose to add calculation script, it should be in javascript.
Please check the Acrobat forums if you have further questions on Adobe Acrobat forms or Adobe Acrobat forms scripting:

I manage to make some Formulas, the easiest ones. But I want to sum a lot of rows. How do I type that as a script?

GKaiseril Jul 18, 2014 2:36 PM (in response to TO1)With Acrobat, I would use "The field is the ____ of the following fields:". Select the "Sum" function and KMrow top level for the fields.
You could also perform the same task with a custom JavaScript calculation script by accessing the "KMrow" object and then converting that object to an array of field objects and then use the properties of that array to compute the total.
