Create version number and add +1
Hi VZKRB4,
You can use a number field for Versionsnummer and while populating the field using Power Automate, convert the string to float.
Steps:
Add Action Compose in Power Automate.
In the Inputs on compose action, use the syntax below. Please replace "variables('StringVariable')" with your own variable or dynamic content.
float(variables('StringVariable'))
When updating the values in a list, use the output value from the Compose action.

Dear PankajBadoni, thanks!
I updated power automate flow as suggested and had to change the column Versionsnummer from text to number- now its working and i can use column Versionsnummer+1 in word as real document Version based on Sharepoint!:
I will play with Power Automate to may get Versionsnummer automatically added +1 😀
In your flow get the current version number then initialize a variable (integer). Then add an increment variable action, and set its value to 1. You can then have an update item action to update the SharePoint list item in the versionnummer+1 column with the new value in the variable.
