    Hi,
    I am calculating a quantity fieldname7*13.50. The result I am getting is 1300.005 when I set fieldname7 to 1. The field is set up at a number with 00.00 as the decimal digits. When I change the equation to fieldname7*13.00 it calculates it correct as 13.00. Why is 13.50 causing Calculated Fields Form a problem. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Could you send me the link to the webpage with the form inserted, please?

    I guess the issue can be caused by the symbol used for grouping thousands, and the symbol used as decimal separator, if you are using the same symbol in both cases, the plugin cannot determine the real value of the field and the result can be unpredictable.

    Best regards.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. Here is the url to my webpage:http://glencoehighclassof86.com/home/.

    The form is near the bottom under fees payable.
    The field that is causing the problem is Number of Children 13 years and under for Saturday BBQ Only. It takes a number and is multiplied by 13.50. If I enter 1 I get 1300.005. If I enter 2 I get the correct answer 27. If I enter 3 I get 4000.005.

    Also I was wonder if the total could show dollar amount for the total. I only saw currency field for input but I am inputing quantity * price.

    Thanks so much. Margaret

    Hi,

    As I’ve commented in the previous ticket, the issue is caused by the symbol defined as decimal separator. You have entered as decimal separator the text: “00.00” but the correct one would be only the dot symbol “.”

    because if you enter the text: “00.00”, the mathematical operation:

    1*13.50

    returns 13.50

    and then the plugin replaces the decimal separator by the text you have entered: 00.00, and the result is transformed in:

    1300.005

    Best regards.

    Hi,
    For the number field symbol for decimal I have tried only the “.” with and without the thousands grouping symbol 0,000,000. I still get 1300.005 :(.

    Hi,

    I’ve checked your website again, and the symbol defined as decimal separator in the “Total” field is: 00.00, and the symbol for grouping thousand is empty. Please, use only the dot symbol as decimal separator, and you can enter the comma symbol for grouping thousands.

    If you prefer you can send me the access to your WordPress through my private support page to configure your calculated field correctly:

    Hi,
    That fixed it. :). Sorry I forgot about the total field. Is there a way to add the “$” to the total since it is a price total?

    Thanks so much,

    Hi,

    You simply should enter the $ symbol in the prefix attribute of the calculated field.

    Best regards.
