Ability to use the Calculation question type within a Table in a Form

Issue

Currently if you are constructing a table where you want to perform a calculation on two columns to get an answer in a third you can not (not expected table behavior). So, for example:

Column A - Width, Column B - Length, Column C - Depth. Column D - Vol (m3)

You cannot multiply A*B*C to get D

You can do this outside of a table by creating 3 individual questions and multiplying them in a fourth - but for forms where you want more than one row (i.e. a dynamic table) this is not practicable.

Benefit

This would have the benefit of reducing form length - making it quicker to design and to use in the field and allow you to perform a wider range of calculations - again making forms simpler and quicker to fill in.

  This is something that I could use in 70% of the forms that include tables and would also allow me to reconfigure the other 30% and make them shorter and more effective. 

   

  Please make this available for analysis as well!

  Complete Calculations within Tables Merged

  Need to be able to make a table that adds/minuses/times columns of a table to get a total. e.g. materials on site: quantity x price = total cost. Need to be able to complete that calculation for potentially 50-100 materials per form.
