I am trying to set up a simple calculator to calculate the ceiling of a number such as 250/7.

Here is a screenshot of what I have so far. What am I doing wrong?

To evaluate a text string as a calculation, use the CALCULATE() function in a Calculation field:

Thanks.

Also, when I use “Display Text Briefly” on my M4 Mac mini running MacOS 26. The text does not show. Does it disappear too quickly because of a faster machine or is that option not working at all. I can use the Display Text Large so in this case I will probably use that. I don’t want to have to close the display text window every time.

Check the settings for notifications, in System Settings.

This uses the standard system Notification, so if you have disabled Notifications from displaying you may not see any results.
