I get a 0 and -1 in a new column after performing a calculation in Formula tool. What does 0 and -1 represent? Please help. Thanks.

Hi @akmuthu 

 

The 0 and -1 represents the Boolean value of True or False.

True - -1

False -0

 

Many thanks

Hi @akmuthu 

 

-1 means True and 0 means False. You can check this on the attached workflow, when the datatype of the Result column is changed to boolean, the label of the data will change to True/False.
