Calculate
Add
Adds whatever you wire in — numbers, records, or both. Fluidly inserts one for you when a second wire meets a port.
| Port | Side | What it carries |
|---|---|---|
in | In | Any number of numbers or records; every wire on this port is added. |
out | Out | The sum — a number if only numbers came in, records if any records did. |
What you choose
Nothing, most of the time. Wire in what belongs together and Add sums it.
The one choice appears only when a number meets records, and it sits on the card: how the number goes in.
- Balance mode (the default) — adds the number once, to the balance. The whole line moves up by that amount, as if you had that much more on the day.
- Amount mode — adds the number to every row. It compounds through the balance, so use it when the number really is per row.
The card spells out the figure — adds 8,283.21 to the balance — so you see what will happen before you choose.
What Fluidly decides
Add adapts to what arrives.
| What you connect | What comes out |
|---|---|
| Numbers | Their sum, as a number. |
| Records | One set of records, every row kept, with the balances added together. |
| Records and numbers | The records, with the numbers folded in as chosen above. |
The name follows the wires: two inputs labelled Nordea and SEB make an Add called Nordea + SEB, and that name travels on to whatever comes next.
When Fluidly adds one for you
Wire a second source into a Timeline, Number, Forecast, FX Rates, Bank cost or Calendar, and Fluidly places an Add in front of it and wires both through it. A third wire joins the same Add. It is an ordinary component: rename it, move it, or take it apart.
What it warns about
- mixed currencies — the inputs are in different currencies, and Add does not convert. Put an FX Rates in front of the ones that need it.
- Bands combined — two forecasts with the same levels are added worst with worst, as if they move together. That is the widest honest reading, and the card says so.
- Bands summed without one — forecasts whose bands do not line up are added as plain lines. The money is right; the fan is gone, and the card tells you.
Example
Bank Account (Nordea) → Add → Timeline, with Bank Account (SEB) → Add: the group's cash in one line, day by day.
