[Solved] Perform a Calculation Directly on a Dictionary Value?

Questions & Suggestions

Thanks @JMichaelTX

Your test Macro confirms what I have found. (Apologies for not uploading my test Macro - as that would have saved you having to build a similar one…)

Yes. And I see you came to the same Workaround Solution to the problem:

  1. Recall the Dictionary Value to a Local Variable.
  2. Perform the Calculation on that Local Variable.
  3. Save the Result back from the Local Variable to the Dictionary.

Three Actions instead of one. But it works and now I know I wasn’t missing something.

As always, thanks for helping.

UPDATE: I have now saved these three Actions as an easy to recall Template Set using the truly amazing [KMFAM] Favorite Actions and Macros by @DanThomas.
