Enter the integer or float value to add to the first value. This must be a value that is provided as a literal preceded by =, or a variable of the correct type. |

Summing Date Values
The action cell sums date elements. To avoid unexpected results, all fields using date elements should refer to the same date element.
The action cell normalises a date element during a sum operation. For example, adding 15 to the day element of 20 January 2021 element results in 4 February 2021. To understand how normalisation works in FLOW, see Normalisation of Date Variables.
