Hey @keedman4

So the when an item is created trigger sets off the flow as soon as the item is created and I guess it just returns the basic information like ID, creator, created time etc (it is like that for the CDS connector so I assume it is the same with this one). Can you try adding a get item action after the trigger and in the ID of that, select the id from the dynamic content. In the expression you will now have to update the triggerbody? with Get_Item and reference to the column value that way. Can you try this and check if you face any issues/ errors?

Hope this Helps!

Hey @keedman4

The expression looks correct to me. Can you share a screenshot of the flow where you are applying this expression? Also, what is the datatype of these columns? you might want to use the int function to first convert the data to integer and then use the subtract function.

Hope this Helps!
