Just enable the Calculated Value checkbox for the field and enter your formula. It&#39;s as simple as that!</p> <p>As a side note, be sure to double-check your formula to ensure that the dropdown value is a valid option in the dropdown list, as Sugar does not validate the results. So, if the dropdown list has values &quot;A, B, C&quot; and the formula results in a value of &quot;1&quot;, then the field will appear blank.</p> </td> <td style="border-bottom:0px;padding-right:3%;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;width:33.333%;"><img class="align-right" style="border:3px solid #343433;" alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/670x750/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-35/CalculatedDropdownField.png" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <hr /> <p><em>Make sure that you have notifications turned on for&nbsp;<a href="/explore/w/tip-of-the-week">Quick Tips</a>&nbsp;for more great tips like this!</em></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
