I tried to make a very simple table and want to test formulas is working or not if I use advanced custom fields. It seems there is some error.

Here is the table that I created:

A1=<?php the_field(‘test1’); ?>
A2=<?php the_field(‘test2’); ?>
A3=A1+A2

Tablepress return me an error message: !ERROR! A3 does not contain a number or expression

Any body know how to fix it? Thanks.

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

First of all, I assume that you are using the “PHP in tables” Extension to make the use of that PHP code possible?

The reason for this is that the formulas are evaluated before the PHP code, and thus the formulas fail.
As a workaround, I would suggest to not use PHP directly, but to turn this PHP code into a custom Shortcode. You could then use the TablePress Extension from http://tablepress.org/extensions/shortcodes-before-formulas/ (see https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/shortcode-used-in-cell?replies=6#post-4542150 for instructions).

Regards,
Tobias
