Can one of your products (maybe in conjunction with another)
a) enter multiple parameters on an input screen. See referenced URL b) performing calculations based upon joining several tables filtered by parameters (see attached. User table/ID would likely be the Wordpress user) c) Returning the resulting calculated fields formatted on an output page/screen. See referenced URL Feel free to play with this calculator to at least see what how the output is formatted... Hopefully these tools can handle this (output) format...
I am calculating/processing one transaction/request.
I imagine when I click the calculate button on the input form; d) all the input fields post to a php script / SQL command that does a lot of calculations based on various rate tables. e) A JSON record / dataset is returned with multiple calculated fields that need to be populated on (bound to) output form text boxes. f) The input/output pages would be incorporated into WordPress menus and protected.
Or maybe a better approach to handle this?
h) Also in reference to d) I specifically mentioned a php script option because that opens the possibility to securely Post ID/PASS/Parameters to a remote server and return a JSON record set..
Yes, a) could be probably achieved with Gravity Forms, but we are not creators of Gravity Forms and I can't tell you with exactly if this is possible/impossible. We do have integration add-on that can show entries from Gravity Forms to wpDataTables and you can see all available features for this add-on at this link.

Hi Scott J Wendell,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Unfortunately something like this is not possible out of the box features and probably it is best to do something like this with custom coding.
You can try our sandbox site: Front-end & Back-end - you can find a fully functional version there to try out all plugin features.
Which steps/items (a-h) below are not possible?
Can you recommend an approach that comes close?
It seems web technologies are so fragmented and lack integration
I was think a) could be addressed by Gravity forms at the very least
