Scoreboard

[patf]

Need some help, please. I have created a "scoreboard" to type in and project results of a contest. I've used input fields for each category (1A, 1B, 1C, etc) and an input field to total these (1Total). I've tried to get the 1Total field to total 1A+1B+C, etc. but can't figure out how.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is this what you are trying to achieve?

[patf]

Exactly! With the total being the sum of numbers in the input fields.

[mindstitchdr]

Cool, glad I could help.

[patf]

Mindstitchdr, the total field doesn't display/calculate the other fields. That's what I need to do. (I thought you were asking a format question.) How can I caculate and display the total when I input numbers into the input fields?

Thanks.

[mindstitchdr]

OK. On my example if you enter a number in the first field, then the second, then the third, then the fourth, then you hit the text Total it will add the numbers from all four inputs and display the results in the fifth input box. Is this not what you needed?

[patf]

My bad - didn't know to press the text Total.

Thank you! I truly apreciate it.

[mindstitchdr]

No problem. I should have used a button instead.

You can do the same sort of thing without having to click for a total so you get a constantly updated total as you enter or delete numbers. Just another approach.

Thanks, Longedge, with your help and with Mindstitchdr's I have a perfect solution.

I truly appreciate the help of the experts. It's the great thing about this forum.

Jalow, Duds.

So to use numeric basic operations like those i try with the file uploaded by mindstitchdr.

i mean it is there any how to use symbols to replace the + and use beside - or / that way it will be a nice way to do an excel project formula.

any direction will be great

If I understand you correctly then something like this example.

Thanks to all who helped on this. Here's a "generic" (non-client specific) version for anyone who can use it.

If I understand you correctly then something like this example.

Look Here i upload something it is plain simple example on what i am trying to reach.

Remember it is not what is, it is how do you use it.
