Hello !

 

I need to update a spreadsheet in order to calculate expenses.

I’ve created a zap using “Add Row to Excel”. Everything works fine, but the numeric data is pasted as text in Excel and therefore not calculated unless I manually “touch” (double-click) the cell.

 

I’ve tried to add a “Format” zap to change the input data (currency) into number.

I’ve tried to update the cell with the formula: value(“xx,xx”) where xx,xx is the amount in currency that I need to update.

 

Is there any way to paste numeric data in excel so that it’s automatically calcultated by the destination spreadhseet ?

 

Thanks in advance for your input and insights in the issue.

Hi @Soggo 

Good question.

We would need to see screenshots with how each of your Zap steps are configured.
