Expression.Error: We cannot apply operator - to types Number and Text.

Operator=-

The expression error is in a new custom column called amount.
I changed the debit, credit, and new amount columns to all match... I tried decimal, currency, and text - the error did not disappear.
Below is a screenshot of the custom column formula... why am i getting this error?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, that did not work... I replaced null with 0 in both the debit and credit columns and I am still getting the error. See the larger screenshot below.
Please - any more ideas to help me? THANKS ALL
