Does anyone know of a simple formula entry calculator? - Treo Forum

Steve_p · 06-02-2009, 06:11 AM

Hi, I'm new to treonauts. I hope I've put this question in the right area.

I've got a Treo 680. Regularly throughout the day, I have to calculate and quote figures. It's a fixed formula with constants that get updated annually. There are two variables in the formula.

What I'm looking for is an app where I can enter and store the formula. When I run the app, it asks me to enter A & B, then displays the answer.

Ideally freeware or (cheap) shareware, but I use these formulas so often, I'd look at any software.

I hope anyone can help. Many thanks

Could you do a formula in Excel and copy that document to the Treo? That would be free.

LotusLord. Thanks for the reply. Yes, that's what I'm doing at the moment. The trouble is I get impatient loading Docs 2 Go, then loading the spreadsheet. On the PC, I've got a desktop "Widget" that when I click on it, it prompts me for variables, then gives me an answer. Takes about 2 seconds to get the price. I thought there must be some sort of programmable calculator that could do something similar on the Treo.
