Hello,  
I have a small problem that I am trying to solve, as explained in the example below.

**Screen1**  
Text\_Input1 + Text\_Input2

How can I display the result of this operation on

**Screen2**  
by writing it to Text\_Input1?

You’ll want to save the values from the text inputs on screen one as [variables](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/variables-overview) and then, on screen 2, set the [text input’s text](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-design/ui-components/basic-components/text-input#properties-blocks) to those variables. If there is more than one variable, you can use the [join](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/text#join) block to join the inputs.

You’re welcome,

I didn’t fully understand.  
Is it possible for you to add a visual example as a screenshot of the steps mentioned in the second message?

This is pretty basic stuff. I would recommend checking out the [Thunkable Academy](https://academy.thunkable.com/) if you still find yourself a bit lost.

When Button1 is clicked, you’ll want to set each variable to the Text\_Input’s text rather than the other way around. I know you know that but you might want to update the screenshot.

Thank you, Tatian. My apologies. It should be the other way around.

Thanks for answering.

> To display the result of adding Text\_Input1 and Text\_Input2 from Screen1 into Text\_Input1 on Screen2, you can store the result in a variable after the operation and pass it to Screen2. Then, set the value of Text\_Input1 on Screen2 to that variable to show the calculated result. Using [uktopwriters.com/best-essay-writing-services/](https://uktopwriters.com/best-essay-writing-services/) was a great decision for me as a student! I was struggling to find a reliable writing service, and this site provided me with detailed insights into the best options available. I chose one of their top-rated services, and my essay turned out fantastic! I appreciate the thorough evaluations they offer, which made my choice so much easier. Highly recommend this resource!
