how to execute simple calculation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1

Hello,

I'd like to execute a simple calculation based on variables in the flow.

I've tried to use the action "update item in a sharepoint list" and then filling the field with "[approved amount] - [payment]" but it's not accepted.

How should I do those simple calculation?

 

thank you

    Hi scursio,

     

    I don’t think we could insert any calculation in a Flow field. It won’t be recognized and won’t execute at last. You could post this in the Flow Ideas forum, so it might be considered for future releases.
