Dear All,

In my first step we receive info on a field that should be a number but sometimes we receave a text on this field.

How could i check this in order to send the info to my output field (number)?

Is there any formula that checks this? something like

  • IF isnumber(step1.inputField) then step2.outFieldNumber = step1.inputField else step2.outFieldNumber = 0

 

Regards
