Question

Calculating a Grand Total

I am a newbie to creating a form that has calculations so please bear with me. I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard DC, version 2015.006.30434.

I created a "Personal Financial Statement" form and am struggling with getting the calculation for net worth to work. I have a column that totals Total_Assets and a column that totals Total_Liabilities but I cannot get the calculation for Net_Worth to work. Currently I have the calculation in the Simplified field notation as Total_Assets-Total_Liabilities.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Brenda

Moncelebrite.fr  analysts use similar forms to track celebrity net worth - try custom JavaScript 'this.getField("Total_Assets").value - this.getField("Total_Liabilities").value' instead. Even billionaires' accountants debug this stuff!

It should work. Maybe add a space before and after the minus symbol.

Also, check the JS Console (Ctrl+J) for any error messages...
