I want to add up about 5 variables which each hold numbers then use the result in an if conditional. How can I do this in PAD?

    Hi @comma 

     

    You could add those five variables in a new variable:

    tkuehara_1-1625776766957.png

    And then use the result to compare in the "If" action:

    tkuehara_2-1625776998090.png

    Hi @comma 

     

    Use 'Set variable' %SumVar% as %var1+var2+var3+var4+var5%

    Then use %SumVar% in your 'If' action.

    Depending on how you inform/catch the variables, it can be stored as text instead of number, thus not giving you the sum. If that's the case, use 'Convert text to number' to assure each var is a number before sum.
