Posted on by lamacz

hi all,

probably silly question, but can someone please guide me how can I receive a result in decimal number after dividing two numbers? I am always getting result in whole number. Formula looks like this:

div(int(variables('Recharge')),43300)

Thank you for any advice

Lukas

Here is an example that shows getting a decimal output:

The expression in the Compose as below:

div(variables('Recharge'),float(43300))

The flow would run successfully as below:
