Components used:
Two “Input Text” components for the Input numbers and them binded them to write data to cells B4 and D4
One “Value” component to display the result and binded it to pick data from cell F4
A label component to show the function (/,X,-, +)
Another label component to show the equal sign (=)
Four Toggle buttons binded to cells H4:L5 to insert the selected function into cell C4
Background and Rectangle components to deck it up
Formulas Used:
I used the HLOOKUP to pick up values based on the function selected.
Fell free to leave a comment.
