Hi Experts,

Looks like a simple problem, but I am struggling to find a way.  
As shows in the mobile view, I need to display Value column (Qty \* Price)  
I tried text components, but it does not show any column in the order table but shows the columns in customer master.

Please help.

The only way to do this is by using a [Custom Form](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014).

This is because with a native form (as you are using now), no values are written to the table until the form is submitted, and so there is no data to do any calculations with.

I have always been curious about this. The calculated columns, or at least the math column, is calculated with the form inputs, but they’re not available for display.

In this example, I take a math column and use a text component to demonstrate that the sum indeed is calculated.
