Calculations in a Table
Aug 06, 2019
Hi Everyone. I am developing a module in which I will need the learner to look at a price list for an item and then determine the quantity by looking at a floor plan. When the learner enters all the values they click a calculate button and presto, you get a grand total. Yes, I could have put the triggers to fire on the change of focus but that is a lot of triggers.
But wait, there is more. If the grand total value isn't what I expect it to be (in this case "30") the state changes and the text is red.
I was not able to insert a numeric entry into a table. Neither was I able to figure out how to change the state of text in a table. So to over come these challenges, I overlaid the table with numeric entry fields and a standard text box for the Grand Total.
Finally, I configured the tab order so a learner can easily tab through to enter the values.
I hope someone else finds this useful. If you need help, feel free to ask, but be ready to send me something like a company tee-shirt or other swag. Seriously, don't make me open a Patreon account.
What improvements can you make to it? Or suggestion on which for me to work?

Thanks for sharing your work with the community, Charles. Sounds like you had some pretty specific requirements for this project and your solution works beautifully!
Great work. Thank you for sharing your course. I might actually need this for a course on Revenue Cycle Operations I'm working on.
Thank you.
