Lets say I wanted to apply a formula to the entry number.<br /> For example "entry number +7"</p> <p>So in the "Send notification emails to " area i would have the variable {entry_no} , and somewhere behind the scenes, machform would take the entry number and change it and use the resulting changed value in the email.<br /> So even though the entry number is actually 15, it would display the result of the formula (using our example "22").</p> <p>Also, is there a way to select which columns do and do not show in the export to excel function? and how would I go about that? </p>
