Is it possible to use a math calculation with a nested view?
ie. value from form B - value from form A
I have:
[frm-stats id=143 type=total user_id=current decimal=2] --> Form A shortcode
[display-frm-data id=4437 pass_field="[140 show=ID]"] --> Nested shortcode from form B
I want to essentially use
[frm-math]
[display-frm-data id=4437 pass_field="[140 show=ID]"] - [frm-stats id=143 type=total user_id=current decimal=2]
[/frm-math]
but it doesn't seem to work

I think you have to figure out how to show the individual field. The frm-stats id is a field id and a value. The view id is related to the whole form. It really doesn't represent a specific field id and doesn't know how to evaluate it. That's my interpretation of the situation.
I think Bobby's right. Your solution may live in building your own short code to return the value you need.
Thanks for the support, I actually realised that the nested view needed to be trimmed down, removing all access code (divs, p tags etc...) and just show an integer. Then when nesting it into the parent view, it worked how it should.
Good call. Sometimes things require some self troubleshooting. Enjoy!
