Working with Table and Spreadsheet

Zapof provides the table in rows and columns to capture 14 different data types and over 500 spreadsheet functions to tackle any requirements.

A table contains cells arranged in rows and columns. Each column can use one of the following types to capture data:

• Text.
• Styled text.
• Numeric.
• Currency.
• Date.
• Time.
• Date and time.
• Birthday.
• Yes/no.
• Checkbox.
• File upload.
• Image upload.
• Star rating.
• Emotion rating.

Each row contains cells as many as the number of columns. The header of the table contains the name of the columns.

Let's create an order form starting from an empty table. 

The table contains four columns:

• description (text and read-only column),
• select (checkbox for the user to select),
• quantity (numeric for the user to enter the quantity of the item),
• unit price (currency, read-only column, and contains pre-defined values),
• and sub-total (currency, read-only column and contains calculated values)

The table has 4 items to order and the last row of sub-total column shows the total.

Adding spreadsheet functions.

The checkbox value is 1 when it's selected and 0 otherwise. To prevent an accidental user input of negative value to quantity, we use ABS function to evaluate it. The formula for the subtotal is the checkbox's value times the quantity times unit price, and the formula for the total is the sum of the values in cell E1 to E4.

Note: cell variable (A1, A2, ...) and function names are case-insensitive.

1. Click cell E1 and click the 'Edit formula' button on the cell's toolbar and enter B1 * ABS(C1) * D1 and click 'Apply'.
2. Repeat for the cell E2, E3, and E4 with formula B2 * ABS(C2) * D2, B3 * ABS(C3) * D3, and B4 * ABS(C4) * D4, respectively.
3. Click cell E5 and click the 'Edit formula' button on the cell's toolbar and enter SUM(E1:E4) and click 'Apply'. 

You have now completed your order form. Congratulations!
