Formula Value

I have a formula the sometimes requires a negative value.
 

For instance the sum in Agreement Value the original value, plus the previous value, and the negative "this" value needs to be $1,709,000 not -$141,000. 

How do I edit the formula to accommodate a negative value and provide the correct sum?

This is in production so I need to ensure it will not affect any other active calculations.

 

Using Nintex WF Cloud and a Nintex for SharePoint 365 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

I tried to replicate this issue in my NWC Tenant but was not able to. It calculated as expected. Are you able to provide an export of your form?

Hi @johnreece 


 


Seems like it the Previous Value was omitted out (to get the  -141,000)



 


I got $1,709,000.00



 


Can you try with 2 more sample values and share the screenshots of the result?


Cheers

Hi @johnreece 


 


Found the Issue. Its the Form Rules



Once the field "Agreement Value" get a negative value, the recalculation will NOT occur.



 


How to Resolve


I suggest the following solution - Update the Form Rule


IF ORIGINAL isFilled or PREVIOUS_VALUE isFILLED or THIS_VALUE isFILLED


THEN AGREEMENT_VALUE value sum(...)  


ELSE AGREEMENT_VALUE value = 0

Tested. Verified working. However you should conduct your own detailed Testing


 


Cheers
