Exponent in Calculation

  1. Hi,

    I'm trying to build a form with calculation, however the form requires the value of one field to be calculation to the power of another field.

    Is there a way to do this in Gravity Forms? I notice that the ^ symbol doesn't work.

    My maths skills are not great, so maybe there is another way to calculate this formula using just what I have available, but I can't figure it out.

    Any advice?

    Cheers.

  2. I don't believe the calculation will work for you as it does not support raising to the power of another number. The other notation of ** also does not appear to work to raise to another power.

    Can you explain how many variations of the two numbers you might have? Are there limits?

  3. There's a lot of variations for each number, it's basically a loan calculator. So there aren't really any alternatives.

    Is there some way I can hook into the calculation and do it manually? I know the formula, but my Javascript isn't quite good enough that I can recreate the whole thing manually.

  4. I don't know of a way to hook into the calculation. I believe you will have to do this with JavaScript or jQuery.
