Hi all, please assist me.
I want to make a simple NUMBER TEXT ENTRY so that the VALUE in Rates will be UPDATED to multiplication to that entry entered by user. VALUE in Rates are fixed.
What must I do in the BLOCKS?
Really appreciate it.
What have you tried so far?
Frankly, I don’t know where to start. 
But if I get the basics building blocks, I can move on from there.
Just that can the RATES label gives a new VALUE or should I create a separate “TOTAL VALUE” label?
You just want to get the text from your text_input and multiply it by the text in your label, right @isazaly?
Is this something like a homework assignment, yeah?
Yes exactly! BUT can the exact same label change to the final calculation results?
Not homework. Just trying to understand the very basics 
I want to build a simple calculator app to our filmmaking community (freelancers) hourly rates.
The FINAL value actually updates on the text-entry label instead. I need the RATES label to be updated instead.
Then replace “from Text_Input1 set Text” with “from RATES set Text”.

THANKS tatiang! Now you solved my misery.
But how do I make RATES fixed? Cos every time I set back to 1min, it will calculate base on the new UPDATED value?
Can you show the blocks that use RATES? And when you say “fixed”… the value of a variable won’t change unless you program it to change. So if you set it to a value, it will remain that way.
I found a workaround! I have made RATES_value (100) to “Visible-false”.
And created a new TOTAL Label and made the final calculations appear there instead.
Or are there any efficient way?
