[SOLVED] How to get differential value from one variable using synthetic expression

Data management
1

Hi everyone,
I’m recently using ubidots as an application server for my project. i’m transmitting my data (increasing data) in one variable. In that, i need to get differential value (i.e current value - old value).

For this what kind of synthetic expression may i use?

Eg : my data = 120 …150 , 180
I need to subtract the latest one by past data (180 - 150) to get my value as 30.

Can anyone help me out with this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, the expression below should do the trick:

previous_val = shift({{var}}, -1)
actual_val = {{var}}
actual_val - previous_val
