adjust the settings to your preference we can apply the same process to add text boxes to the quantity column the final column pertains to the total value of each item first add the text field to the box change its name to total price one and the format is the same as the unit price column however this number should be the unit price times the quantity how can the form calculate this number automatically right click the total price box go to the property section and find the calculate option you'll see choices for sum product average minimum maximum of the selected fields in this

boxes and the total price column will display the total value automatically and accurately let's proceed to set up the remaining calculat fields located at the bottom we aim to configure our subtotal referred to as amount subtotal to accumulate the total of all amounts in the invoice we're going to add a text field to it change the name to amount subtotal format that one as a number with two decimal places and a currency symbol for the calculation we can use the value as the sum and then we can select all of the total price Fields right click on amount subtotal and use to create multiple copies of fields function to efficiently generate text fields for the rows below change the field names ingly for the tax rate we can approach this differently if we open the properties of the tax rate and navigate to The Format tab there is an option set it as a percentage keep in mind that whatever number you enter here will be multiplied by 100 for a discount we will use a flat amount we can format this as a number two decimal places the separator style and the currency symbol keep the same same as the other fields if you want to underline the negative number style we can use a red text to differentiate the number let's go to the home view enter a negative number to the discount field you will see the number show in red finally the due total field is determined by adding the amount subtotal to the tax amount and subtracting the discount number note that the discount is entered in negative format so the formula becomes due total equals amount subtotal asteris brackets 1 plus tax SL vat close brackets plus discount you can see this formula is a little more complex compared to the sum and product calculated in the previous fields in this case we can use the simplified field notation go to edit it will pop up a text box input the formula ensuring the field name aligns with the form for accurate detection by the PDF now let's test our form navigate to the Home tab input
