I wrote 2 formulas and am attempting to combine them (multiply). The first formula is numeric. The second formula is text based. Although the second formula is a texted based user value field, the output is always numeric. Is there a way to combine them to produce a numeric total?

Thank you, yes I have. Formula workshop gives the message: No errors found. As soon as I close the workshop it gives the error message: The string is non-numeric.

Apparently not all your data can be converted to numeric. One way as a test is to use a formula like this to see when it does not like the data.
if isnumeric({somefield}) then 'true' else 'false'
