    Hello,
     
    I'm having trouble understanding the exact issue from your post. Could you please inspect your calendar UI element and share the HTML code? With that, we can offer a more precise solution to your problem.
     
    Best regards,
    Deenu

    What does your CurrentItem look like?
    I assume you have a loop that uses datatable and the CurrentItem is a data row from that table. And that data table has a column named S1. Is that S1 a numerical value since you are trying to substract 1 from that?

    I recommend adding a test variable where you only have that %CurrentItem['S1'] - 1% and see if it gives error.
    Like so:
    If it gives error like "Operator '-' can't be used to 'Text value'. then its a text value and you need to first use convert text to number -action
