The Action Builder window for Calculate displays.

2. Set the Calculate settings.

Equation: Type the equation into the Equation field.

Preview: The calculated results of the equation display.

Save to: Type the path to where the calculation will be saved, such as a list or variable.

3. If needed, adjust the Run Error Task settings to fine tune how the action runs.
4. If needed, adjust the Run Switch setting to create the action without running it.
