How do I add two numbers in one entry box? In desktop, I just typed the 1st #, +, 2nd #, and hit Enter and the sum would be in the box. Is online incapable of addition?

It's the same as Desktop, except you need to press <Tab> after entering the equation.  In Desktop, you could press <Tab> or <Enter>.  

QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and QuickBooks Online (QBO) are two distinct accounting platforms with different features and functionalities.

While QBDT allows for instant calculations directly within an entry box, this feature is not currently available in QBO.

It works just like Desktop except you need to tab after entering the equation.  Have you tried it?
