Hi,

 

How come I am getting this error?

My values are "general" format in an excel table.

I am using this expression to try to create item - items('Apply_to_each_3')?['2023_01_16']

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks.

    Can you try wrapping your field inside a float expression so it converts it from string to float. This assumes there will always be a value and it will be a number.

     

    float(items('Apply_to_each_3')?['2023_01_16'])

    @grantjenkins thanks, i wonder if it is because I have blank values to

     

     The runtime value '""' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'Number/double'.

     

    maybe i need to deal with nulls?
