I am working on a form where the user will need to enter several expenses and then submit a total request amount based on those expenses. It would be so helpful if the expense fields that the user enters could be automatically totaled on the form in a way the user can see. I have a formula field doing that calculation in the table, but can't pull that field into the form.

I imagine there are many other useful applications for a non-editable formula field appearing in a form as well. It's strange that this is not already an option, since a non-editable long text field is already an available option.

That's a great suggestion. In the meantime, until Airtable offers that functionality, you can currently get live calculations on a form with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free and offers hundreds (possibly thousands) of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to perform math or other live calculations on your forms, the ability to update Airtable records from a form, the ability to display Airtable lookup fields & Airtable rollup fields & Airtable attachments on forms, dynamically & conditionally filter linked record fields by any values that you would like, accept payments on forms, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records on a form, set advanced field validations & limitations, add CAPTCHAs to your form, and so much more.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
