Display a Calculated Field

[RonKnepper]

This is driving me nuts and from what I read you can do it.  I have a calc field (it does store the correct data) and when I use it in a note so the collector can see the amount it will not display?  What am I missing?

calculate	Est_Boxes
note	Display	Verify the Number of Boxes: ${Est_Boxes}

Hi Ron,

I think you may want to include the portion "Verify the Number of Boxes:" in a hint or a required message perhaps. I believe that the calculation field is strictly to perform calculations using values.

Hope that helps

Nope even if I only have that variable it does not display

Hi Ron,

The "Verify the Number of Boxes: ${Est_Boxes}" text - is that in the label column or the calculation column?  Survey123 don't support variable substitution in the label column.  This can be done in the calculation column, but it needs to be a true function:

concat("Verify the Number of Boxes: ", ${Est_Boxes})

should work

Thanks, my understanding of how to use it was off.  I have it working fine now.
