Subtraction Calculation Error

RCern

I am trying to do a simple subtraction calculation and I am getting an error.  Half of the equation works, but when I attempt to subtract a third component, I get an error that I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.  Can anyone advise?

You are storing those columns as VWStrings (aka text) - change them to numeric and it should work!
