Calculated Values in Automate

Hi everyone,

I am working on a project with a list that has Column Amount Allocated and Grand Total. In my automate, I want to subtract Grand Total from Amount Allocated and use the answer to update Column Amount Left.

    @codeworks,

     

    In my experience you will have to do this in multiple steps of update item.  so for UK VAT and grand total I first calculated the VAT amount ion one update list, then added the VAT and subtotal on the next update item.  You may need a third step.

     

    Hope that makes sense.
