Is it possible to perform a calculation in a field? I.e. I want to add +1 to a field that retrieves the number 20. So the result would be 21. 

How is that possible? 

 

Thanks for help.

@ForYourIT Is it possible to do a bunch of calculations, store them and output the results to different fields?

I.e. the calculations should be 10+1, 10+2, 10+3. And the output should be 11, 12, 13. So the first output (11) should be in field #1, the second result (12) in a second field and the third result (13) should be in a third field. 

Would this be possible?

Yes, you can do that using multiple Formatter steps.

OR if you want to save Zap Steps (and thus Tasks), try the more technical Code step: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help
