Sounds like you’re having problems in the output composing formula where you combine the various text and number fields?

If numbers are involved, then no you cannot mix that with string (_yet_). I already made the request and it’s coming soon™.

Orders.Filter(State.Final = true).Count() + " of " + Orders.Count() For now I’ll have to separate them in to two different fields.

Worst case if you _need_ it **now** , then a solution with a button can be used. Click to generate.
