At the bottom of the form I have a table w/ 4 colums for various fees. The Auto Sum formula works great. Here is the problem: 50% of the people who will use my form will simply print it out and fill it in by hand. They will not be filling out electronically. When I print my form, the cells for "Total Fees" automatically populate "$0.00". No data has been entered in the table and my guess is that the formula thinks that "$0.00" has been input into these fields. How do I make it so that the auto sum formula does not execute unless someone enters data into the form fields w/in the table? |
