    Hello Tobias

    We have created a Table with a Formula and we need the front end to display an empty field in the Table that the visitor enters their number, e.g. 27.5 and the formula (which is hidden on the front), calculates and displays the result. How do we configure the field to be able to accept visitor input value?

    Many thanks

    Hi!

    Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!

    I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint you here. It’s not directly possible to use user input in formulas that are in table cells. These formulas only have access to data that is in the table already, and adding/editing table data from the frontend, by a site visitor, is not possible.

    I would therefore recommend doing these calculations dynamically in the browser, using custom JavaScript code, or with a script on the server that then returns the desired calculation results.
    Sorry for not having better news here.

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
