Expressions that yield variant data type ERROR

Hi

 

I keep getting the below error when adding a column. The YEARCHECK is a decimal number and CURRENT OTJ (%) is a decimal number. How do I solve this issue

It is because the true statement [CURRENT OJT(%)] column is a Numerical column, and the false statement " " returns a Text column, you can reply "" with BLANK().

Hi,

 

Try using something like BLANK() or a 0 instead of "" as "" is used with text
