Help with Calculations for PDF Form

Community Beginner ,
Mar 12, 2024 Mar 12, 2024

I need help forming a proper formula/calculation for a quote form. I've attached a screenshot of the file. I need QTY * 27500 - DISCOUNT = Total.

 

I've been reading the forums and trying to make a code work, but I'm totally new to this side of Adobe. I need to be able to replicate a similar result for the other remaining rows too. Any idea of how to do this?

 

Also, adding a total for the TOTAL column would be awesome, but mainly need the above.

 

Thank you from a form creating noob 🙂

If you have space in your field names, escape it with backslash like this:

QTY\ 1*27500-DISCOUNT\ 1

Hi and thank you for your response. For some reason it's not working on my end. I've added a screenshot if it helps, but it may not be doable without JavaScript, which is something I am not prepared to handle at the moment. Either way, I appreciate your time!
