Using ( ) for math calculation? - How to Ensure Correct Order of Operations in Calculations with Parentheses

[amitshemla]

Hi, Am trying to calculate tax - discount to display total price.

The tax in my place is 17% and in order to calculate right now i am trying to do something like this:
shop_items’related_products:each item’s total price:sum-discount*0.17

It’s not working good, I suspect the issue lies with the order of operations ( ) and it should look like this:
(shop_items’related_products:each item’s total price:sum-discount) * 0.17
but in this way it’s not working at all

THANKS!!

Do you have parenthesis turned on (or the beta expression builder)?

What do you mean by turned on?

You need to turn on paratheses here:

Or turn on the Beta Expression builder here:

It looks like you’ve just typed the parenthesis, and the * symbol.

You need to use the expression builder to create the expression (don’t just type it)
