Hallo,
I have created a flow that creates Lists in SharePoint. One of the columns is calculated.
I know the type of the column, but is there a way i can automatically create the calculation itself?
Example
Hi @marial16,
You can use the SP.FieldCalculated type in your metadata.
Below is an example of that approach.
In this example I am also setting the output as a number. If you want to use text use the outputtype 1.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.sharepoint.spfieldtype?view=sharepoint-server
{ "__metadata": { "type": "SP.FieldCalculated" }, "FieldTypeKind": 17, "Title":"TotalCost", "Formula": "=Quantity*Cost", "OutputType": 9 }
Yes this works,
i figured it out eventually although i did not know about output type.
I will add it also to the workflow.
Thank you!
