Convert text to a formula in Numbers

I have a shortcut that adds a record to a Numbers table. I would like to compute a value based on a previous record in the table based on a text string that I create. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what you are trying to do. Screenshot? If you are on the Mac: shift-command-4, drag to select area, release, start a new post here and use the mountains-and-moon 'Image insertion' icon to insert the screenshot from the Desktop.

Not sure what you are doing but maybe if you put an = in front of your formula string it will convert it into a formula when it is imported.
