Then use the Number field, enable calculation and simply put your formula in the calculation area using the merge tag drop down. So your calculation will look like this:</p> <p>MergeTag1 * MergeTag2</p> <p>If you wanted to use the drop downs for a combination of text and numbers, you can enable values and then calculate the valies in the merge tag like this:</p> <p>MergeTag1:value * MergeTag2:value</p> <p>Don't copy and paste this, use the Merge Tag drop down in the calculation builder on the number field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/height-width-calculation#post-71031 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:28:12 +0000 ashaath 71031@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi<br /> I have now purchased and tried applying what you suggest but I come against the following:</p> <p>1-Can a NUMBER field be a drop down selection</p> <p>2- If I had one field for the height and one for the width then had a third NUMBER field to display the result of multiplying the height X width and enabled calculation for it how do I get it to display does the formula use the previous two fields ID (i.e. the height fiels and the width field)</p> <p>Can you please give me a step by step example as am not sure how to arrive at this.. </p> <p>I checked the forum and found a similar question (by jstunzi :: post # 1) but it had been designated resolved without displaying how..<br /> I'd be grateful for your assistance.</p> <p>Best regards </p>
