What if I change the number to be read as text? Can I use that in a calculation? My overall goal is to have a user input a point number, have Survey123 pull the elevation for that point number, do a calculation using a number inputted by user and show the new elevation. It seems simple enough but I can not get it to work.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 Nov 2017 14:30:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/does-pulldata-not-include-numbers/m-p/834027#M19142 MichaelPolinske 2017-11-15T14:30:56Z Re: Does Pulldata not include numbers? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/does-pulldata-not-include-numbers/m-p/834028#M19143 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Michael,</P><P></P><P>The above is to note that values come in as strings without any conversion. &nbsp;Due to how the form processing works,&nbsp;the best practice is to import the value via pulldata in a calculate field and then use either the int() or number() function in the calculation of the numeric field to populate the number field.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 16 Nov 2017 10:02:55 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/does-pulldata-not-include-numbers/m-p/834028#M19143 JamesTedrick 2017-11-16T10:02:55Z
