Math module

Welcome to the Make community!

1. You don’t really need to use the Math module, as you’re not using advanced math functions like sqrt. The entire expression can be inserted into the Slack module using the built-in functions and operators.

2. Your brackets, operators, functions, or special variables were not selected from the Variables Panel. Try selecting it again from the Variables Panel, or type curly brackets like these {{ }} so that it ends up with a background color:

{{ ( }}
{{ / }}
{{ + }}
{{ = }}
etc.

I also suggest doing this Make Academy, as it covers selecting brackets, operators, functions, or special variables from the Variables Panel.

For more information, see:

Proposed example:

Screenshot 2026-01-23 161523

{{ (parseNumber(3.`$1`) / 1.data.rates.VES - 1) * 100 }}
:high_voltage: Make Input Markup: Copy-paste the above into the field, including start/end curly brackets for it to import as intended :warning:

You may need to replace the variables with your own.
