Jahue, Any data coming from a <Post-It> is a string type variable. You can see this in your screengrab where the expression editor shows "x As String".
Some components are smart enough to take <Post-It> data and automatically convert it to the appropriate data type (if possible). For instance you can have a number in a <Post-It> and use it to specify the magnitude of a vector or a scale factor, etc. The <1 Variable Function> component does not auto-convert any data because expressions can be constructed with any incoming data type and the user must check compatibility with the desired functions. In your particular case, the sqrt(x) function will only evaluate an integer or a double. -taz On Apr 6, 11:41 am, Jahue <[email protected]> wrote: > I have uploaded a screen grab of the problem(sqrtproblem.jpeg).
