I’m only able to allow for people to enter a decimal, for simplicity i’d like to have them be able to enter a percentage field or just a number in a field i’d designate as the percentage field. Is this possible? ---

HI Sam, that should be possible. Can you show how the form needs to work and how the calculations need to work? Have you built a form yet? ---

Hi Chris, Thanks for the response. IBuilt out the form already using decimals instead of percentages, I uploaded a picture of one example, though its a multi step form and comes up multiple times. Here the bottom field is calculating. ![Screenshot 2022-03-10 084944](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gravityforms1/original/2X/a/ae0e3212f05326cc77f076287b61c8ef9acad17b.png) ---

Anyone have an idea how to do this? really would make inputs so much simpler for visitors to our site. Thanks ---

Hi Sam. I’m not clear on what the issue is. If you have a number field, you can limit the min/max to 1-100 or 0-100 if you need 0%, then, you can use a calculation in your other field, and divide by 100 to arrive at a percentage. Will that work for you? Or is there a limitation you have run into that I have not considered? ---
