Hello,

I am using SP lists to maintain users PTO and a Master list to forecast utilization hours based on their goals as follows. What formulas can I use to get the Forecast hours in the Master list? I have bolded the columns that need the calculated values. Thanks much!

@getjuliajob Are you trying to do this on a Form submission or using a Workflow? Usually for something like this I would have a Workflow that would query the PTO list and update the master list column for you.

Hi @leighburke ,

Thank you! It's from a form submission. I am new to using Nintex, would you be able to point me to a sample Workflow ?

@getjuliajob This example here(https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Query-List-add-values/m-p/97278) is similar, you would use the query list(https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintex2016/current/#sp2016/Workflow/ActionsCore/QueryList.htm) to query your PTO list for the correct values. You would then do the loop in the same way to sum the PTO hours. You would also need to do another math operation after the loop to get your value for updating the list item. The last step would be an update item action(https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintex2016/current/#sp2016/Workflow/ActionsCore/UpdateItem.htm).
