Hi @florenciaog you are updating an existing field as shown by the data type is grey out and is showing you field is a Integer (Int64). Hence the error you are getting as your formula results in a string in a numeric field. Try creating a new field within the formula tool then the data type won't be greyed out and you choose a string field type. By default a new field in a formula will be a string field anyway.
