The Input Field block is a single numeric entry box. Visitors type a number, and that number stands in for the spreadsheet cell you assign. This article covers its settings and how that value reaches your formulas.
What it does
An Input Field renders a right-aligned number box next to the block title. The visitor types a value, and that value is substituted into the block's assigned cell when the calculator runs. Use it for any free-form number — an amount, a quantity, a rate.
Adding one
- In the Input tab, click + Add and choose Input Field.
- Click the block to open its settings.
Settings
Formula
In the Formula group, click Assign to bind the field to a spreadsheet cell. Whatever the visitor types stands in for that cell at run time. See Assigning input blocks to cells.
General
The General group has the shared title, description, and hover hint controls. See Common block settings.
Value
- Default value — the number the field starts with, so your results have a sensible starting state before the visitor changes anything.
- Display as — Number, Currency, or %; picking Currency reveals a currency picker. See Number formats.
Percentage fields
If you set Display as to %, the field displays the value as a percent (for example 25%) but stores it as a decimal (0.25). Enter the default as a whole percent (type 25), and Numio converts it. Write your formulas against the decimal value.
