calculate with values

[jeroen123]

Dear Oleg,
I read 2 variables from SQL:
varA = 2
varB= 3
I want to set VarC = 2+3 = 5

{VALUE(8)}+{VALUE(9)}-{VALUE(10)} >> this doesnot work...

It must be simple, I just not seem to find this anywhere...
How to do this?

You should use Basic for any arbitrary calculations.
Download and install Basic plugin: http://www.robotask.com/downloads/BasicForRoboTask.exe

Now you can perform necessary calculations. See the example:

Code: Select all

You can use Basic script action for complex algorithms.

Save the text into a file and use menu Task->Import to import into Robotask.

Thanks Oleg!
works fine and simple
