    Hi Jotform Support Team,

    We’re working on a form where a bundle of fields is assigned percentage allocations. We’ve set up a calculation field to display the total % allocation across all those fields. While the field correctly shows the total, we haven’t been able to add a validation rule that prevents the total from exceeding 100%.

    Could you please guide us on how to:

    1. Set up validation on the calculation field so that it does not allow totals greater than 100%, and
    2. Optionally display an error message or prevent form submission if the total exceeds 100%.

    Any step-by-step guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your help!

    Hi Gaurav,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. When I checked your account, I saw that you've only one form in your account and I didn't find any calculation on that form. But I've created a demo form as per your requirement. Can you check the demo form and see if you're looking for something like this:

    If you're looking for something like this, then we can help you create this condition. Also, you can Clone the demo form if you want.

    Once we hear back from you, we can help you sort this out.
