Hi, I am trying to import bank transactions with a csv file data provider. I have established the import scenario, but my condition doesn’t seem to work. It is for the amount column in my CSV file where if it’s positive, it should be a receipt and disbursement if negative:

CSV file
Import scenario condition

 


This is my error when importing: An error occurred while executing the Abs(Identifier(Amount)) function. Type mismatch in the argument 1 of the Abs() function: Expected one of the Integer types.

 

Looks like ABS function isn’t accept by the system. Can someone help please?

I’ve worked it out now using: =IIf([Amount] < 0, Replace([Amount], '-', ''), [Amount]) 😊

hi ​@MarkD,

 

You can change the function and instead of ABS([Amount]) use [Amount] * -1. It will make your negative amount positive and does not have a problem with acceptance with the system

Hi ​@MarkD ,

I would also check the Commit check boxes for both Receipt and Disbursement rows.

Hi ​@npetrosov31 - I now get this error. Looks like * isn’t accepted either. Any other way?

I’ve worked it out. I used this condition:

=IIf([Amount] < 0, Replace([Amount], '-', ''), [Amount])
