Calculate's result showing up as "[]"

Hi there,

I’ve used the Calculate method to do a computation and show it in a message to my user.

However, the result shown on the message appears to be a “[ ]”, instead of a number.

Hi Yun,

Can you show me the input and output for the calculate task in your logs?

Hi Yun,

I’d need to see that Number-Calculate item in the log expanded so that I can see the inputs and outputs

Hi again Yun

you just need to use the expression (23) not (23) ; You then see an output Result of 6
Hope this helps

Sarah
