Hi Community 

 

I'm trying to get the formula tool to return the exact same number as the one in "Field1" however it is currently giving out 304978819902541440 instead of 304978819902541466

 

Any ideas? 

 

Best regards.

@Gabocorreia95 Are there warning messages in the result window? If you change the data type to V_String it would give you the correct result

@Gabocorreia95 Can you use the Select tool and change the data type to V_String then connect to the formula tool?
