JavaScript for checkboxes and costs

[dmk59]

Is there a way to write a javascript for adding the cost of items IF their checkbox is checked?  I have an inventory sheet.  I need to check off what items someone will be getting.  But as I check each box, I need each item's cost to add up in a separate field.

Yes , it is possible.

Have you tried writing your own script yet?

[dmk59]

No, but only because I don't really know how.  Is there like a YouTube video or something?

Hi dmk59,

You could put the following script in the Custom Calculation Script of the line total that refers to the relevant line checkbox, and then have a "total" at the bottom, and that sums each line that has been 'checked' - obviously the export value of the checkbox might need changing from the example below, as will the pricing and field naming;

event.value = this.getField("Checkbox1").value == 1 ? "100.00" : "";

Thank you for your help!

You actually don't need to use any scripts for this. Just set the price as the Export Value of each check-box and then select them directly in the Sum function under the Calculate tab of the total field.
