What's your calculation?

=SUB(value1,value2)

I would like to see the errors I am getting though because every time I try to do any calculation I get an error and since I have not been able to view the error I just use javascript. Which is fine for me, but I like to show customers how to do calculations this way without coding and everytime we run into this message.

Are the 2 fields you are calculating number fields or single line fields?

they both showed a number range in the edit window and I think only number fields have that option.

I don't know if this helps, I was recently at training and I saw a really cute way to fix fx problems in forms, open a excel sheet and demo your own scenario. Do the function and the calculation and see if it pans out. 

That's all I got sadly - don't think I've seen a way to view the error other than the way I mentioned!

Unfortunately SUB is not an Excel function.

@████████, have you tried using ABS instead? Something like this =ABS(value1-value2).

ABS only takes 1 value. SUB takes 2 and returns the difference between the values. I am trying to figure out if this feature is something that might be a good alternative for non-programmers. It was a recent addition to forms but I am pretty sure half the functions are not ready for production yet. If I could access the error, then I could get a better idea of what is going on. Otherwise I am in the dark.

I should have looked at that, sorry. In Excel it can take 2 values.
