Hey,
Is there a way to pass a number using hidden fields that can be included in the calculation? I may be missing something obvious but when I do the branching and calcs it doesn't let me use the hidden field value?
Thanks.

Hi
Would that help with the calculation you’re trying to do?

As for the second question, I’m not sure I understand which pre-existing fields you aren’t able to use. Do you mind sending over a screenshot? Thanks!

I tried to do with ‘is equal to’ too and I didn’t succeed. I still couldn’t find a solution to pass number through hidden fields.

this is one of those things that i have also raised to the product team at Typeform - the variables come across as “string” variables and, unfortunately, they can’t be parsed into a numeric field, variable or logic rule at this time.
One work around that i have used, including the apology to the user for asking for confirmation, is to use a Number question and the @recall function to do something like this:
Just to confirm that you really do want to order ( @recall hidden variable ) units, can you please type in the number again in the field below.
I know that isn’t what we really want to do but I have been able to get users and clients to accept that method.
hopefully it will arrive soon…

Thank you, John!
That was helpful, it saves me some time trying to figure out what should replace.
Very clever idea. I don’t know if it would be applicable to my case, but that is definetely a great alternative.
Kind regards!
