Hello @Mohamed CHALABI ,
You can do it using powershell script , below are the commands:

$tags = (Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroupName -Name VirtualMachineName).Tags //Get the tags on that Virtual Machine
$tags["decom"] = [int]$tags["decom"] + 1 //Increase the value of decom tag
Set-AzResource -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroupName -Name VirtualMachineName -ResourceType "Microsoft.Compute/VirtualMachines" -Tag $tags //set the updated tag

Before execution of the script:

Step By Step Execution of above script:

Step1:- Get the tags
$tags = (Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroupName -Name VirtualMachineName).Tags

Step2:- Check the current tag decom value:
$tags

Key Value

decom 1

Step3:- Increase the tag decom value

$tags["decom"] = [int]$tags["decom"] + 1

Step4:- Check the increased tag value

$tags

Key Value

Set-AzResource -ResourceGroupName ResourceGroupName -Name ResourceGroupName -ResourceType "Microsoft.Compute/VirtualMachines" -Tag $tags
