    Hi Joseph,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand what you’d like to do, but I’ll need a bit of time to work out a solution. I’ll get back to you shortly.

    Hi Joseph,

    The solution is to add one more Form Calculation widget and set the calculation like what you see in the screenshot below:

    Now, in your Calculation field, you will add the Form Calculation widget that you just added. Check out the screenshot below:

    Feel free to test this cloned version of your form. Below is a screencast of the expected form behavior:

    Hi Chris,

    I can not get the calculations to be correct in all combinations. Note there is

    1 or 2 Images, 12x or 16x print sizes, prints supplied or see print, possibilities. Would you please review my implementation, I'm going wrong somewhere


    Thanks


    Joe

    btw, entrance fee,$15 or $25 is not taxable, the prints, $19 or $29 are taxable


    Thanks again

    Hi Joseph,

    You can check out this demo form provided by my colleague. I also checked your actual form, and it appears you've already set up the calculation. When I tested your form, it seems to be working properly. To help you better with this, you can share with us a screen recording of what’s happening on your end so we can take a look at it? You can share the video recording on any public sharing platform like Google Drive or Dropbox, or you can simply use Loom to record the video and share the video link with us.

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to move forward with a solution.

    Hi Adrian,

    Thanks for the DEMO version, any chance you can post the Cloned version in MY Forms?

    My version does not calculate properly


    thank you

    Hi Joe,

    You can clone the form to your account, so you'll have a cloned copy of it. Let me show you how:

    1. In My Workspace, click on Create on the top right.
    2. Now, select Form, select Import Form, and From a Webpage.
    3. Finally, enter the Form URL, and click on Create Form.

    We also have this guide on how to clone a form from a URL.

    Reach out again if you have any other questions.
