Can Chronoforms do calculations like an excel spreadsheet?

Alaino 30 May, 2009
I'm wondering if it's possible for Chronoforms to do calculations like an excel spreadsheet based on what people enter. So for example, if someone filled out a form saying where they fill in saying they want to book 5 print ad spots at 5 columns wide x 6 inches tall at the set rate of $10/column inch and then the form would tell them that equals $1500. Is that possible?

Hi Alaino,

ChronoForms can't do this for you - but you can build a ChronoForms form that will do this. You'll need to code the calculations either in PHP to be done after the form is submitted; or in JavaScript if you want the answers shown immediately in the browser.

You don't really need a form to have a 'calculator page'
I use spreadsheetconvertor.com
It creates a load of Javascript but works fine.
