negative number in formula node

[n3ow]

good day.

I am trying to find information on how to include a negative number in the formula node. 

thank you

Put a negative sign before the number...

Click on the border of the formula node, then click the key on the keyboard just above the arrow keys that says "Delete".  Problem solved.  😂

thank you I see in the example you provided that I was missing a space between the function and the minus sign.

Have a goo day

I generally don't like goo days (too messy).

A space is not required.

As some have already hinted, maybe the real solution is not to use a formula node at all. There is really never a compelling reason for them.

Can you take a step back and explain what you are trying to do?

There are compelling reasons NOT to use them , though, like:

• They are orders of magnitude slower than if you created the same code using native functions.
• You have to worry about syntax (exactly like what the OP is having trouble with).

Of course, this post isn't aimed at educating you, Altenbach.  😉
