Hi @Deepa12,

it depends on many details. The variable can be a string (ev. single line text) and the value from the table can be fetched via glideAjax..

Please share what you tried and where you failed to help you

I have created single line text type for the variable - annual unit cost, annual total cost.  set the default value $. then i have created catalog client script to set annual unit cost, total cost with $ symbol.

if(softwareName.u_license_subcategory == 'Microsoft'){

            g_form.setDisplay('annual_unit_cost', true);

            g_form.setDisplay('annual_total_cost', true);

            g_form.setValue('annual_unit_cost', '$' + softwareName.u_annual_unit_cost);

            var qty = g_form.getValue('quantity');

            var cost = g_form.getValue('annual_unit_cost');

            var cost_val = qty * cost;

            g_form.setValue('annual_total_cost', '$' +cost_val );

}

@Deepa12 

there is no currency variable available OOTB.

You will have to use Single line text variable and ask user to enter in Dollar.
