 * Hi – I am trying to use Calculations, but in the fields editor it doesn’t show
   any of the fields in Calculation Formula editor, just an empty dropdown box so
   unable to edit the formula. Is there some way to see why?
 * I have moved the field to different places within the form, saved, started over,
   but no change.
 * Ultimately I am looking to find a way to have a visibility on a section setup
   so can check if one checkbox is check, and also if either of two others are check
   to show one section or a different section to then half the form if no sufficient
   answers
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@cliffo4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliffo4/)
 * I hope you’re well today!
 * It’s difficult to say without checking the form itself but the first thing to
   make sure of would be to ensure that fields (those that you want to use in calculations)
   actually have calculations enabled.
 * For example, if you have fields n_umber-1_, _number-2_ and _number-3_ on form
   and you want to use _number-1_ and _number-2_ in calculations, you need to edit
   both those fields and you’ll notice “calculations” tab there (between “settings”
   and “styles”). In that calculations tab you need to set option to “Enabled” and
   apply changes.
 * The same applies to other types of fields (that can be used in calculations) 
   but for some types – like checkbox, radio or select – you will additionally need
   to set values for options to be used in calculations. You’ll do that in the same“
   calculations” tab of particular field configuration.
 * Please make sure that this is set and it should solve the issue.
 * If it doesn’t, we’ll need to take a closer look at the form itself in which case,
   please export the form and share it with us.
 * To do so:
    – go to the “Forminator -> Forms” page – click on a little “gear” 
   icon next to form in question and select “Export” option – copy given code and
   put it on pastebin.com service, then share a link to it in your response here.
 * Best regards,
    Adam
 * Otherwise those fields will not be available in calculations formula editor.

 * Hi Adam. Yes that fixed it totally didn’t see the calculation field in the fields.
 * I missed the line in the documentation “any fields in your form that you enabled
   for calculations”, maybe some re-working of that to state that this field works
   in tandem with calculations settings in other field at the start of 4.3.11?
 * It certainly fixed my problem, so many thanks for that.
