Can't add fields for calculation

[marcusr10181371]

Hi!

I want to create a simple calculation form but when I choose the fields for calculation they don't appear in the box...

Every field has it's own name, tried with number-format and without ...

Are there any preferences I have to set for the fields?

thanks in advance!

Strange. Are these text fields? What are their names?

[marcusr10181371]

(Sorry its german..)

The names are "preis" "anzahl" "abgabe" "gemeinde" "summe" but I tried it with the predefined names too (text1.0,text1.1,...)

It should be a simple multiplication between "preis" (price) * "anzahl" (quantity) which results in "abgabe"

then 25% of that calculation in "gemeinde" and in the end a sum of the results ...

tried it with cloned fields and individually created fields ...

The names are of the fields are what you see in the Fields list. A field can't have more than one name...

How are you setting up these calculations, exactly? They seem to be more complicated than just a simple sum or product, so I'm not sure what you're trying to do.

created a quick example how it should look like then.

OK, so how are you setting up the calculation, then?

I want to multiplicate preis and anzahl and have the result in abgabe.

then i take 25% per simplified field notation (abgabe*0,25) in gemeinde

in the end I wanna sum up all the gemeinde-fields in summe.

Actually the calculation isn't the problem I simply can not add the fields in the grey box

although I can mark them ,....

but in the end theres nothing ...

Ah OK... That's good!

Did you create the fields in Acrobat or somewhere else, like InDesign?

I tried both!
