You have to use a custom Calculation script. For example, if you want to add the two fields named "text1" and "text2", you might do something like:

// Get field values, multiplying by 1 to ensure
// we're dealing with numbers and not strings
var v1 = getField("text1").value * 1;
var v2 = getField("text2").value * 1;

// Perform calculation
var sum = v1 + v2;

// Display only if result is non-zero
if (sum != 0) event.value = sum;
else event.value = "";
