Creating Column C as Column A + Column B

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AliceW 290

Hi everyone,

I have two columns in a Dataverse table, A and B. Decimals. People can add numbers in both (model-driven app, if that matters). 

I'd love to have a column C which automatically calculates A+B. Read-only, of course. 

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Alice

    @AliceW Yes this is possible. Create your column C, and in the metadata when you're creating it specify that it's a calculated column (rather than Simple), and then you'll be able to specify the formula to calculate it's value. It's value in records will then be calculated automatically when the value of columns A and/or B is changed.
