Hello there, I’m new here and I’m sorry if my question looks dumb as I’m really rookie on bubble.
I’m currently developing a web page and in one point. I need to sum the result number on a text element (get data child from URL) from the previous page. I can get all the data ok from the previous page. the problem is when I try to sum them. I actually managed to do so by the same page the dropdowns and elements are, but when it comes to the next page, if I try to sum 3 separated text elements so the result gos to a 4th one. it doesn’t work. example: i can get the get data child, get data booster and get data stop from url just fine in separed text elements. but can’t manage to sum them.
Can anyone please gimme a help here? I’m almost 2 days in a roll in a single task in which I cant jump at all.
As shown on the image I can get the correct data from 3 dropdowns for the previous page over these 3 text elements.
SO if client chose 1 or 2 in dropdown child. it calculates the number *8. and so it goes with the other too dropdowns. but when it comes to sum those 3 elements… it doesn’t work even with the whole expression "get data child from URL *8 + get data boosterfrom URL *8 + get data stop from URL *12.
There are a few things you can probably do to make this work. One way that might be easiest is by converting the text to a number so you can do a calculation on it. You can’t do a calculation on a text field unless you use a plugin. Bubble has a ‘convert to number’ option that you can choose though. Try that, then it will pull up the operators for you to do some math on it.
Hope that gets you going in the right direction at least.
I had tried that before James, but now apparently after 2 days I’ve changed somethings and it is good to go! Thanks for you help, support and time cheers mate!
