Repeatable Section Calculations

Labels

Hi, i am wondering if this is at all possible so i would like to reach out for some ideas from the community please.

I am wanting to create a new form to allow users to input shift names, start times, shift length etc

A user would need to create as many shifts as they like by using the repeatable section.

I would like to know if there is a way of calculating the total hours for each shift length added.

Example:

Shift 1 = 8.00 in length

Shift 2 = 10.00 in length

I would need to calculate the total of both or all shift length values outside of the repeatable section so the total should be 18.00 and obviously calculate accordingly to the amount of shifts added or subtracted from the repeatable field.

Thanks Chris

Hi Chris,

Formidable's calculations are very flexible and advanced. Here's the complete documentation. Seems like a straightforward case of following the documentation on Numeric Calculations.

I found this thread from a long while back, but still applicable and I do not know if the mod ever actually solved the user's problem, because I can't figure this out either.

This is NOT a "straightforward case of following the documentation" because when you are using the repeatable section feature, you do not know what - if any- field ID will be assigned to subsequent rows. So, how do I tell my form which fields to add together, when I do not know what those fields will be or even if they will exist, as they are only created by user demand at the time of completing the form.
