Subtotal not calculating

Hello,

The subtotal category is not working properly and I was wondering if someone could please help me with this. When I put in a quantity of something, it does not calculate the subtotal until I enter another quantity in another field. For example, If I am trying to put in a quantity for medium t-shirts @ $10 piece, it should subtotal to $40 but it will not subtotal unless I put in a quantity in another field (such as 2 quantity of large t-shirts), after I input the quantity of another field, it subtotals the field before. So in order to calculate my medium t-shirt order, I have to put something in the large t-shirt category as well. But if I don't want any large t-shirts, it will not calculate. I checked the order and calculations and they are all correct. Can someone please help me with this? Please see screenshots below:

Thank you. Is there any chance you can do it to the file I sent you and send it back so I may see what you did and what the difference is?


Sorry, it's a lot of work getting it in the right order. Follow my instructions and it will work.

That is usually indicative of a field calculation order issue. How did you set up the calculation of these fields?

The row for size small calculated appropriately, meaning I don't need to enter data into size medium in order for it to subtotal. Anything beyond small, does not calculate appropriately, unless I input data into the size below it. Everything is ordered properly. M=men W=Women. Please see screenshots:

Do either of these fields ("KM2", "cost per") have a calculated value?
