I need the user to select an option from the dropdown, which will then be multiplied by a number field - and the result needs to then be displayed in another field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/remove-text-string-from-calculation#post-334832 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:03:53 +0000 David Peralty 334832@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can I ask why you aren't using Products instead of a dropdown? If you were using a Product Dropdown field, you could have the prices for the various items be the same and work as expected in your calculations. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/remove-text-string-from-calculation#post-332572 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:58:18 +0000 ultramel123 332572@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there. </p> <p>In order to allow "duplicate" values in a dropdown menu, I would like to edit the dropdown menu as follows:</p> <p>Apples and Oranges | 50-1<br /> Oranges and Lemons | 50-2<br /> Pineapples | 50-3<br /> tomatoes | 80-1</p> <p>I need to remove the "-1", or "-2" from the dropdown menu's value for use in calculations. </p> <p>How can I remove the this when I calculate my form fields?</p> <p>Thank you </p>
