Getting value from a Google Sheet and then subtracting 1 from it and updating the cell

I have a multistep scenario, I’d like to update a cell by getting the value from the cell (I can get it from a previous step) and then subtracting one from that value.

I’ve tried this:

But I get NaN in Google Sheets, so I guess it’s not detecting the formula or something.

How exactly can I make this happen?

Your math brackets are currently just text.

You’ll need to select them from the variables panel, or type them like this:

{{)}}

And you don’t even need the precendece parenthesis, so they can be removed.
