Do you want to show custom units like the percentage sign or square meter behind a Gravity Forms Number Field value? The Advanced Number Field Add-on can solve this. It let’s you define your own Custom Unit and place it before or after the input of the Number Field.
Percentage sign Gravity Forms Number Field
If you use the calculation function in Gravity Forms, sometimes you want to show people right away a percentage of the numbers they typed in. For example: The are a number of people that follow a study, and a number of people that passed the exam. You create a number field in Gravity Forms that calculates the percentage: people that passed the exam / total people * 100.
If you have 100 people following the exam. And 20 people that passed. You get: 20 / 100 * 100 = 20%
You probably want to show this as easy as possible: 20%
But that is not so easy in Gravity Forms. The Advanced Number Field Add-on for Gravity Forms provides a solution.
Square or cubic feet, inch, meter ft2 in2 m2 m3
You can define any square or cubic metric you want as a custom unit.
