Hi,

I can pass data using the URL from one form to another. I want to use that data to perform a calculation in another field of a second form. The data is in the URL - ?employees=5#gf_9 I need to use that number to perform a calculation in another field of that second form.

Thanks,
Stan

Hi Chris,

I need to use the data that is passed in the url in a calculation for another field.

I have the field I want the data set to dynamically populate and I am able to get the number. But I need to use that number for a calculation.

?employees=5 This is the data passed

The field in the form I am passing the data to has Enable Calculation checked and Allow Field to be populated dynamically checked with the parameter name. I need to enter a formula in the box that uses the number from the URL string for the calculation.

{?employees=thenumberfromthestring} * .05

Thanks
Stan

Hi,

I just figured it out. Create a Hidden Field. Store the data from the string in there. Use that field for the calculation to display the information.
