Formula where the result required is in either double or fixed decimal, i.e. digit

[SCK]

Hi all.. I need help. I need to calculate a value based on certain condition. The condition being in excel, I need to convert it in a way that Alteryx reads it and gives me a value in number rather than string. I tried using If condition but ended up getting an error that the result should be in string.

IF(F1-F2)>0,(F1-f2)*(1-F3)

Please help.

@SCK , is this something you are looking for? I tried to mockup the workflow.

Formula- if ([F1]-[F2])>0 then ([F1]-[F2])*(1-[F3]) else Null() endif

try this.

Thanks.

@SCK , try this

in else condition you used double quotes converting the field into string, try passing it without the quotes and it will work.

Please refer to the screenshot and attached workflow.
