The Input Field block is a single numeric entry box. Visitors type a number, and that number flows into the spreadsheet cell you assign. This article covers its settings and how it feeds your formulas.
What it does
An Input Field renders a right-aligned number box next to the block title. The visitor types a value; that value is written to the block's assigned cell when they leave the field (or live, in side-by-side view). Use it for any free-form number — an amount, a quantity, a rate.
Adding one
- In the Build tab, click + Add in the input area 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 lands in that cell. See Assigning input blocks to cells.
General
The General group has the shared title, description, tooltip, block spacing, and background controls. See Common block settings.
Value
- Default value — the number the field starts with. This value also seeds the assigned cell before the visitor changes anything, so your results have a sensible starting state.
- Number Format and Currency — display the entered value as a number, currency, or percentage. See Number formats.
Percentage fields
If you set the format to Percentage, 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.
