Syntax
Value.Subtract(
value1 as any,
value2 as any,
optional precision as nullable number,
) as any| Argument | Attribute | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value1 | ||
| value2 | ||
| precision | optional | The Precision.Type specifies the accuracy level for calculations. When omitting this argument, Power Query uses Precision.Double by default, which, while efficient, may cause rounding errors with very small fractions. For greater accuracy Precision.Decimal offers a more precise number representation, ideal for tasks requiring high precision. |
