Does form calc have the capability to round down to the nearest whole number
For example if the result is 1.45 to place a 1 in the column?
And
Can we make several calculations in one pass, where the 2nd calculation is based on the result of the first?

The answer to this is "maybe", depending on exactly what you want. You can set the number of decimals FormCalc uses to output calculated results, and yes, they are rounded. But currently there's just one decimal setting that applies to all calculations...so if you want one calculation result rounded to whole numbers and another rounded to 2 decimals, you're out of luck.

Yes, FormCalc lets you stack any number of calculations, and determines their proper calculation order, when the result of one calculation is required as an input of another calculation.
