Calculate fields, calculate tab not showing!

Community Beginner ,

Hey community,

    The only related question that was answered says ''Convert the eSign form to a Acrobat form''.  Now I have no clue what that means.  I created a form with InDesign CC 2018 with tables like in MS Excel than imported in Acrobat Pro DC to add the fillable fields.  It's a digital work order I'm working on for our employees.

    In the Prepare Form section, it automatically identified all fillable squares perfectly.  However none have the calculate tab in the Text Field Properties.  I tried adding them manually and same with them.  I just want to have some basic calculations like item quantity multiplied by unit price = total.

    What the heck am I missing?  I tried it with Printable PDF and Interactive PDF...

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
