Hey, are you able to share a workflow so I can see the error messages and play around with it?

If I had to guess though I would say that the data types are not the same so I would do (VWstring) + ToString(Datetime) + ToString(Fixeddecimal) because it can't concatenate a string and a decimal and a date. Let me know if this helps.

Hello, @Hi2023.

 

I believe the only functions required to solve this may be in DateTime Functions and Conversion Functions.

 

As an example, if you have a number and you want to concatenate it with a string then you can use ToString([Some Number]) + 'Your String' and the Formula tool will work as intended (assuming the data type for the field is a string).
