    Try using the float() expression to convert the numeric value to double. Also for the date you could try formatDateTime() using 'yyyy-MM-dd'

    Can you convert enddate using following format?

     

    ('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')

    Are you planning to store the datetime as well. Then use the format @PrasadAthalye  mentioned.

    You can use Compose to convert and then use output from compose.

    @PrasadAthalye  I am getting similar error but don't know which field is causing the issue. is it possible to field type currency causing this error? following is screenshot of list setting and flow execution.

    I have some fields are currency type in list an when I am creating new item, I am passing the value from old item stored in the same list. there are chances that some fields are empty such as EIAddAmount:

    could you please guide how can I fix this issue?
