mul() finction

[it_dude]

Hi world,

When i use mul(int(outputs('compose')),'xx') it works but when i try to use mul(int(outputs('compose')),int(outputs('compose2'))) i am getting this error.

Error:

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Compose' inputs at line '1' and column '16988': 'The template language function 'mul' expects its first parameter to be an integer or a decimal number. The provided value is of type 'String'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#mul for usage details.'.

Can some help me with this issue and explain it to me?

Hey Mate @it_dude 

You should not get an error. I did a quick test and my flow succeeded.

Expression used. 

mul(int(outputs('Compose')),int(outputs('Compose_2')))

Can you give the above a try.

Thanks for your fast response @CFernandes 

This is my flow.

CurrencyUSD:

mul(int(outputs('priceusd')),8.47)

Compose:

Get`s a number from a sharepoint list.

Compose:

mul(int(outputs( 'CurrencyUSD' )),int(outputs( 'compose22' )))

Error:

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Compose' inputs at line '1' and column '16987': 'The template language function 'int' was invoked with a parameter that is not valid. The value cannot be converted to the target type.'.

Hello @it_dude ,

Can you try float().

mul(float(outputs('Compose_2')),8.4)

[it_dude]

Change "int" with "float" did the work. Thanks @CFernandes  !!!
