Calculated column data-type variant error

I am trying to use a calculated column to return a calculation based on the value of another column but getting a data type error

 

columns Avg HCR and Results are both formatted as decimal number and the variables have a number format.  Any ideas why there is an error?

@Jebilaya , Score *.25 is the number, and else returns as text

Try like

if(<Condition>, (Score *.25) & "" , "yikes")

 

or

 

if(<Condition>, format(Score *.25, "###.00"), "yikes")
