Forms with formulas

  • I have a similar question to those on this thread. And if I am reading this correctly, it is not possible.

    I am creating a form for our purchasing department. It will then have automation for approvals based on type and total purchasing price. I was hoping to create a formula form field where they enter units and unit price. The form would then have a column for them that totals U*UP. I would then have another formula field that would sum all U*UPs entered. My colleague was creating something in Excel, and that had limitations, but would be something like this and would allow the calculation:

    My work around was that I could have U, UP, TOTAL fields and they would do the calculations outside the sheet. I could then have the sheet do the calculations so there is some auto validation for the Purchasing Director to reference.

    Thanks for any help that would eliminate the work around.
