I have read over the excellent tutorial/how-to on populating drop-down menus from Sharepoint lists and found it extremely helpfull. However, I seem to have run into some issues when trying to apply the instructions within that tutorial/how-to to Sharepoint lists with "Calculated" fields. I have detailed my scenario below and would like to thank all respondents in advance for their suggestions and insight!

I am currently making a material database on our Sharepoint Server for a construction company. Each material entry lists basic information such as the stock number, name, purchase price, etc.

Each item has three prices associated with it:
1 - The item price less tax (as shown on our vendor invoices)
2 - The item price plus tax (to show an accurate purchase price)
3 - The item price plust tax and markup (to show an accurate sale price for invoicing customers)

I have setup the Sharepoint form associated with this material list so that when (1) is entered, (2) and (3) are automatically calculated. I found that this method was the fastest and most effective way to enter new items into the list (in comparison to manually calculating the tax and markup price on a calculator and then entering them into the appropriate form fields).

Since these fields are calculated, I cannot (or am not aware of how to) pull the values directly from Sharepoint list for (2) & (3). Does anyone have any insight into how I could accomplish this?

I just realized that I should have clarified something further. The InfoPath form is setup so that when the user selects the "Item Name" form a drop down menu, the additional fields are automatically populated for that item (ie. Unit of Measure, Purchase Price, Sale Price, etc).

I have set this form up to successfully pull and populate the data from an .xml file but it is the Sharepoint list that I am having specific problems with.

Thanks!

Hi, You can actually pull data from Caliculated columns of sharepoint list.

Above blog explains you how to get data from sharepoint list using getlistitems webservice method. This method returns you caliculated columns also.

This will give data in "string;#dsfasDF" format, means "datatype;#value"

Thanks Agni! I'll have to check that out. I appreciate the directions.
