I have two fields that are set to perform calculation but nether field is doing the calculation. See below. I don't see option that I need to select to make the calculation automatic.
Hi @InnerCityMatt,
Calculated fields are computed when retrieving a record (e.g form load or shown on a view), and will not automatically update in the user interface when immediately changing a field value. You'd have to save the record and cause a refresh in order to see calculated field update as the record will be retrieved again.

I have been doing that. I imported a large data set to the table with values in the fields that are used in the calculation. I have click refresh and opened up records in the form but still, no calculations are being performed. I am still working in the solution.
Have you published customizations? Also, are those fields used in the calculations just simple decimal types/whole numbers, or are you referencing any other calculated fields?
A few things to check:
1. Set the calculation to a simple value to verify the calculation is firing. Example, set to a single value or something like that, this will help to verify that the calculation is actually taking place on the field.
2. If this works add additional calculations step by step until it fails to see what is causing the issue.
3. Verify your output format is acceptable based on the calculation (i.e. if calculation causes a decimal value that it is decimal)
4. Verify the calculation is not pushing the value past a maximum or below a minimum defined for the field
Hopefully these steps help. Please mark accepted if answers and Like if it justs helps.
Thanks!

The calculation is Set CICIncome(Currency) to (Premium(Currency) * CICCommisionrate(Decimal)) + CICFee(Currency)
Here is what the form looks like. Does every field in the calculation have to have a value of at least 0 before the calculation can be performed?
I have clicked published on the form
Yes, all the fields used in the calculation must have a value for the calculation to work. You may want to add some additional conditions to account for the cases where some of the fields don't have data.
