Unable to add values on the Notes app

I have been attempting to add values on the notes app and it won’t work. I’ll give certain items a value and when I attempt to add the list by the names it won’t add the values.

How are you making the addition?


If I write say

Apples = 5

Cards = 10

Oranges = 7 in a Note, and then underneath write:

Apples + Cards + Oranges =


It automatically suggests 22 as the result.


Make sure the Note is being created under the iCloud or On My iPhone groups.


It won't work under other groups or email accounts..

You have a few issues there.


Remove the equal sign after the A+B+C+D =,

and the one after the sum x3.


to get a result you can add the a "Sum =" line under the operation.


Andt a add a "Fun = " under its operation and it should offer a result.


Also, multiplication is done using the asterisk, not the letter x. In context it should change the asterisk into a small x automatically though.
