Hi rmishka,

There is a sticky post in every forum here about posting in the forums. In part it reads like this

[list=F]

Please do not ask us to Code your Form for you (unless you are prepared to pay). ChronoForms makes it very easy to create forms using the built-in Wizard or to copy and paste code from any HTML editor. We are happy to help out but we don't have the time to do basic work for free.

Please don't ask us to give you basic help with HTML, CSS, PHP or JavaScript. If you want to use the full power of ChronoForms and of Joomla then you are going to need some basic coding skills. There are excellent tutorials on the net and they should really be your first point of reference. . . .

[/list:o]

Your question is a perfectly good one is a coding question, not a ChronoForms question, and importantly is not one that can be answered in a couple of minutes. Our best advice to you is to find a friend who knows aome PHP and get them to help you out.

The bare bones are that you can replace the 'values' in the drop-down options with numbers (or you can look the numbers up in arrays set up in the OnSubmit Code box). Then you can add PHP in the OnSubmit code box to do the calculation for you.
