Hello, I am trying to add a column of positive and negative numbers on an electronically created form as shown below:
For some reason, the "Above Totals" field is treating the negative as a positive number, resulting in a total of 3 instead of 1. Once I finish typing in the next row; however, the field correctly treats the negative as a negative number as it should be calculated:
There seems to be some type of delay with this calculation that does not get corrected until the user manually enters an additional piece of data. Is there a reason why this calculation is not happening automatically? Thanks so much.
Usually, when calculations seem delayed by an entry it is a calculation order issue. One calculated field depending on another, but the first field is calculated after the second. Do you have calculations that depend on each other for this result?
