How to change number to text

Posted on by Guicord101 151

Hi Guys!
I want to show a number in a text box, but an error appears:
"Expected text value"
The property on this control expects Text values. The rule produces Record values, which are incompatible.

    This is because  N_dias is not a number - PowerApps is seeing that as a record.

    What is N_dias and how is it defined?

     

    If it is a record, then reference the column of that record that contains the number you want.  Example, if it is a column called Value, then your formula would be ThisItem.N_dias.Value

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
