Timing of Page Output

The solution, as you yourself say, is to place the code above the cfoutput line. Unless you mean there is more output between the calculations and "Then more".

In that case, you could use a unique placeholder for 'calculated_value', then output the entire page content later. Something like this, the placeholder being the string [[<xyz>]]:

<cfsavecontent variable="pageContent">

    [[<xyz>]]

    Then More code...................

    Then the Calculations code is done here to get the calculated value.

    <cfset calculated_value="abracadabra">

    Then More code...................

</cfsavecontent>

<cfset pageContent=replaceNoCase(pageContent, "[[<xyz>]]", calculated_value, "all")>

<cfoutput>#pageContent#</cfoutput>

The only way that I can think of (and I'm sure others can think of other ways) would be to load the page, then use AJaX to call a CFC that will do the calculations and return the value(s).  Then you can use JavaScript to manipulate the DOM to display the results.
