Hi,  
I would like to create a form for the user to enter several values, click on a “calculate” button and for the result to be displayed.  
I do not need to save anything to the data base. No records should be created.  
Just like a calculator.

Is that possible?

Just create a table with a single row, add user specific columns, and add any math columns you need. That’s it. Add entry components to the screen and point them to those user specific columns.

Thank you!  
Do I need to create all columns (calculated and input) as user specific or only the input columns?

Just the input columns.

There is no option to make computed column user specific, but they effectively become user specific when they reference non computed user specific columns.
