| **Dependencies** | None |

This Example Lab will demonstrate how to populate different totals on a Form based on a Radio Button selection.

## Explanation

In this example, different license plates cost different amounts of money, so depending on which the user selects, a different multiplier will be used for the total cost (cost times quantity). On this Form, there is a Data Flow that runs when the user selects a value in the Radio Button. The selection and the quantity are passed into a Data Flow that runs a Truth Table to determine how much the plate costs and then it is multiplied by the quantity. Finally, the total cost is updated as an Output to the Data Flow and is displayed on the Form.
