Message Tool: "Type Mismatch in operator +" Error

OneandOnly13
8 - Asteroid

Hi –

I want to add an existing field to a message tool. Right now my expression (below) is throwing an error. My expression seems to be in line with the help documentation (https://help.alteryx.com/current/Message.htm) so my question is what is wrong with mine? The Ratio field is a FixedDecimal 19.6 data type as an fyi. To clarify, the formula in the "Before Rows Where Expression is True" is operating correctly. I want to bring in the actual ratio to the message.

Hi @OneandOnly13 

 

...ratio (" + ToString([Ratio]) + ") to determine...

 

This should work.
