Hello,

 

I'm having trouble to substract 2 values. The source attributes (ontwerp & rekenk, yellow) are encoded utf. I convert them to 2 new attributes such as "@real32(@Value(rekenk))". (blue) Then I want to substract those numeric real values in "TEST" but that results in a string? (red)

 

Any ideas?

You need to make sure that you are using the arithmetic editor not the text editor

You need to make sure that you are using the arithmetic editor not the text editor

Or simply wrap the whole expression up into a call to @Evaluate():

@Evaluate(@Value(NUM_REKEN)-@Value(NUM_ONTW))
