&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have been using this resource for the last several months as I try and get into infopath.&amp;nbsp; Much thanks for all the insight.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is my issue:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have made a data connection and integrated it into an infopathform as part of a repeating table.&amp;nbsp; I would like to do some calculations from the fields which I have filtered out with rules.&amp;nbsp; Everything seems to work fine, but i cant make any calculations without getting th NaN error.&amp;nbsp; It seems that this may be a data type issue.&amp;nbsp; I have tried using the number() function to convert, but to no avail.&amp;nbsp; When looking at the data fields, all the REST data has type= string.&amp;nbsp; Is there a way to get around this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks.&amp;nbsp; KB&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
