Reply Contact Well - how many corresponding fields are there? Maybe you could use rules instead, set rules on the fields that would set the value, with the first rule to clear the field? Then you could have conditions as to when to set the field.

Reply Contact Thanks for the reply! There are 5 corresponding fields that are by default set to blank if no data is entered...right now even if the user does not enter any data into those fields and saves the form it automatically saves the value to the calculated field to zero. So there is no way to set the default value of the calculated field to blank? 09-06-2016 08:45 AM In reply to Hilary Stoupa Joined on 06-20-2008 Posts 13,297 Re: Calculated field default set to blank if no data is entered in corresponding fileds Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer...
