Fillable PDF Form Calculations Not Working

I have converted an Excel file to a PDF form using Acrobat Pro. I have uploaded the form for review.  Apparently Javascript error messages indicate that the variables are not defined properly for the StartRow1 and StopRow1 fields. Also, the the Total1 calculation is not working properly. Users need to enter "Yes" or "No" in the FromToHomeRow1 field to trigger the proper calculation in the Total1 field. I'm not sure how to resolve these issues. Any feedback would be welcome.  Thanks,  Rob

    Conditionals and text literals are not allowed in Simplified Field Notation. Cause it's simple. 

    A custom JavaScript is required for this type of calculation.
