Getting the right formula for Subtotal and Order total

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 50

Hello

Please I need help with getting the right formula for my order total because the formulas I tried are not working.

I used a drop down for the order qty and a text label for the subtotal with the formula

Text(ThisItem.ItemPrice*Dropdown1.Selected.Value,”[$-en-US]$##,###.00”,en-US””)

 

Then the Order total

 & Text((Sum(colshoppingCart ,SubTotal)))

It’s not working.

It says the value $80.00 cannot be converted to a number.

    Hi, the reason is you have a $ character in the SubTotal so it wont work. try this

     

    Text(Sum(colshoppingCart ,Right(SubTotal,Len(SubTotal) -1)))

    Hello Sir,

    Thank you for your help.

    The formula worked but how do I get the order total to display with the currency symbol and the tens and units.

    Currently it’s showing as 80 and I want it to show as $80.00.

    Thank you Sir

    The formula worked but I noticed my order total no longer tallies with the subtotal.

    I have 2 items in my cart 136 + 144=280

    But the order total is showing 272
