(Only if required) Use TEXT() function to convert number to text in your formula, to validate your required condition

Otherwise, I agree with Bram & Niranth.

Hi @MadhabikaM ,

You can use the formula "<> 0" and achieve your results.

Hi Madhu,

Number formatted line items cannot be blank. They always have an integer as value. If 0 is an 'incorrect' integer in your case, then indeed the answer of Niranth IF ... = 0 THEN "Error in Value" ELSE "No Error" is correct

Hi @hari.prasad

There is no requirement to convert the values into text, You can directly refer the 'number formatted line item' and use the condition =(equal) or <> (not equal).

I'm suggesting this because converting numbers to text will all another additional layer of calculation and is not best practice.
