Error: Multi Field Formaula - Parse Error at char (n): Malformed Function Call

HassimDiallo

I am trying to solve for the below issue. I have trailing signage that are getting dropped at the end of my workflow and losing all my credit (-) balances and becoming positive. For example 2000- should be -2000.

 

Amount

2000-

15

45-

 

Using the below Multi Field formula and getting Parse Error at char (n): Malformed Function Call error. It looks like a parenthesis might be missing somewhere but i am able to see what's wrong with it.

 

ToNumber (IF Right(Trim([_CurrentField_]),1) = "-" THEN ToNumber ( Left(Trim([_CurrentField_]), Length(Trim([_CurrentField_]))*-1
ELSE [_CurrentField_]
ENDIF)

 

Please help with troubleshooting.

 

Thank you
