I need to show a value based on the calculation above. How do I do this in the content editor?

Hey, @PineappleJoe,
I suppose x and y are dynamic data right?
If yes, you can do some number operations 
Another option would be to use 2 custom states. You could have something like this, although there’s probably alternative ways also.
State_1 = 1 -y
State_2 = x * State_1
State_2 should be your answer.
You may also be able to try it like this in one line…
1-y*x
Ok. Thanks. @pork1977gm So if Y is an edit field then state = 1-y would update each time the edit field y was updated right?
Thanks @hacker. will look at the link and video.
Ok. I just took a look. I dont see how you get the parenthesis type functionality with formatted as.
Current Cells Fee Value * (1 - Input Cost Vale).
Im not sure how formatted as would enable the above to work. Could you show me?
It would yes but if you’re running the calc in a workflow then you’d have to run the workflow each time y changed. It kind of depends on how you’re displaying it really. Lots of ways to do things in bubble !
You can first do the parenthesis and then the multiplication or, you can set a state of the result of the parenthesis and then do state * x

Yeah I tried that before but I cant even do 1 - x
Ok. Found out that I can use states to represent the value one because a fixed value of 1 wont work.
Seems like a feature request
Your state is a number state right?
Yeah it is. I was just not able to type 1 - x. I had to make a state then I could get to STATE - x.
