Calculation - Allow Multiple Calculations

I love Podio and truly believe its the best all around CRM/CMS out there for small to mid-size businesses. Perhaps one "tweak" to the calculation ability is to allow for multiple calculations.

As it is now, a user must choose one calculation and save the app. Then they have to go back and add another calculation. Sometimes the first calculation (answer) is of no value.

Example: I'm an investor and I want to calculation my Maximum Allowable Offer on a property.

I need to know this number: After Repair Value x .7, - repairs= MAXO

So I have to first start by using the ARV field... which is fine... then multiply by (#custom) .70 and save the app.

Now I have a number that all users see which doesn't help anyone. It just takes up space.

Then i go back in and create another calculation to subtract repairs to finally reveal my Maximum allowable offer.

So my idea is to allow for multiple calculations at a time.

Who's with me?

  Hey Randy

  It is a great input and something many other Podio users have already requested. Here is some related threads on same topic:

  Perhaps you can add your vote to the existing threads as well? :)

  Thanks for sharing! It is definitely on our wishlist of stuff we would like to add in the future.

  Has this been addressed yet?

  I'm really struggling to enter the same info into a calculation field. This is what I have so far:

  "$ " + (@ARV * @Percentage) - works fine

  If I add the following I'm advised it's not a valid number:

  "$ " + (@ARV * @Percentage) - (@Repairs + @Fee)

  If I enter a "+" instead of the minus symbol, I get a 9 figure number - so looks like the minus symbol insertion is the problem!
