    @Sathish_1994 - can you share the formula that is leading to this error?

    I didn't see the formula anywhere related on the front side,  When we are creating a new project or we open any project task at that time the error popup shows in the PowerApps, how do we check the formula for this issue? Kindly help with this bug issue.

    PowerApps considers currency to be Text. You will need to enter a number and format it as currency later.

    I will a number, then do we have to apply any formula for converting the number to currency?

    Yes. Check out the documentation on the Text() function.

    @Sathish_1994 

     That control expects a number, not text. The error message is telling you to leave off the "$" and enter just the number.
