Flow & Maths

Hi all

 

Quick question - can Flow do Maths? We're doing a MS Form for a risk assessment, and each answer internally has a score 1-5. Is there any way for Flow to take these responses, assign the answers a number, and get it to add up to a final figure? 

 

Any help would be awesome. If you need any other info, lemme know!

    Hi Rob

     

    Thanks for that! Do you know if those functions work (or how they work) in a scenario like this: 

     

    MS Form: 

    Q1 - has there been a fire

    Yes - internally we know this is a point

    No - internally we know this is 0 points 

     

    Do you know how I'd tell Flow that Yes = 1 and other questions answers equal whatever, and they all add up to X?

    @smather yes you can use add(), mul(), div() and sub() expressions plus more. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference#math-functions
