Calculate Total Based on Selected Options Part 2

Question

I am using the second solution in the below link to try to format a simple calculation but it is not working. Any advice as for what is going wrong?

I am trying to calculate an amount based on one numeric field "TotalPayrollHours" multiplied by 1 of 2 choices in a currency field.

How do I calculate grand totals based on selected options in Cognito Forms?

Answer 1

Your calculation field, TotalPayrollHours, is a numeric calculation, but the type of the calculation field is set to Text. Just change the type of this calculation field to Number and your DailyLaborTotal calculation will work correctly.
