No matter which way I set my variable to hold an integer/number value from my SharePoint list I get the following error.
it is not set up as float in my list, its set up as a number field.

The variable 'intReorderThresholdQty' of type 'Integer' cannot be initialized or updated with value of type 'Float'. The variable 'intReorderThresholdQty' only supports values of types 'Integer'.

BAM it hits the wall

"cannot be initialized or updated with value of type 'Float'! Its an integer not float!

Any workaround or fix for this?

    Thanks for your input.
    Definately will keep yours in mind for any future workflows causing this.
    Very puzzling.

    Yah, the work around was deleting the original variables and rebuilding them as a float type.
    Delete the set variables and create new variables using float.

    Can you try either one of the expressions and see if it changes anything? 

     

    body('Filter_array_Get_OSI_Values')?[0]?['field_4']

    or

    first(body('Filter_array_Get_OSI_Values'))?['field_4']

    or

     

    int(first(body('Filter_array_Get_OSI_Values'))?['field_4'])
