I am trying to use the new calculations in this beta to do some simple stuff . I have my total including tax and from that i want to calculate the tax amount and sub-total (Working backwards)
Here is my feedback / Mac 10.7 / FF / Chrome
My working scenario is
* Products (user can pick a multiple of products which gives a price)
* Sub-Total
* Tax
* Total
The formulas I am using are very simple
* Tax Calculation = Total / 5 (as my tax rate is 25%)
* Sub-Total Calculation = Total - Tax
Feedback
* None of the fields update dynamically. For example, when I choose a product, the total updates but the tax, nor the subtotal update. This is the biggest problem as the calculations should happen on the fly otherwise this is useless.
* When I refresh (FF Only) the tax field updates correctly, but not sub-total, see next point
* The sub-total field above never updates. Not sure if it is because it is using a field (Tax) in it's own calculation which is doing calculations as well.
* On chrome the field has a drop down arrow, on FF not
* On default, maybe the fields should be populated with zero. Maybe that is possible in the advanced tab for the number field? have not tried it.
Hope this helps
