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!
