 * First of all I must say I’m new to Caldera forms and it’s really awesome and 
   easy.
    My only problem though i don’t quite understand how to use manual formula
   to make conditional calculations. for eg: I have 2 Text boxes with slugs %txt1&
   and %txt2% i need these two to sum up and show in calculated field only if %txt1%
   is > 50. it seems easy to do in javascript but i can’t really use js in the manual
   formula.

 * Interesting. Conditions in the formula, both manual and builder, are not yet 
   supported.
 * Only thing I can think of is having two calculation fields each with the different
   formula. and then show one depending on the value of txt1. but that seems more
   a hack.
 * I’ll see what I can do for a future feature.

 * Caldera is great. Unfortunatly since I have a complex pricing structure I need
   many conditions which slow down my form drastically (it needs up to 10 seconds
   to recalculate after a checkbox).
 * Maybe you could implement the possibility to add a function in the “manual calculation”
   like it is in calculated fields form ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/struggling-with-formula-that-requires-if-statement](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/struggling-with-formula-that-requires-if-statement)).
 * If you want to see my current form (with Caldera) you can see it here:
