You would need to try adding a value to divide by in the bottom input field.

Did you try testing the step to see the results? (e.g. Does 660 becomes 6.60?)

I was able to replicate the error with the Formatter step.

You’d have to use a custom Code step to perform the math operation (divide by 100) on an array of item values.

Zap Code step have an AI helper that you can try to use.
