Error about apparent data type

[Former Member]

Hi

Building a formula which works as expected with the commented code.  When I uncomment, I was getting an error that highlights the else line at the bottom (NewBOM := "";) with a message that says "a boolean is expected here".  After playing around with semicolons and brackets, the error now says "a number is required".

Keener, less bleary eyes might see what I'm doing wrong.  I hope so.

Thanks!

Okay, found it, * not %.

Thank you everyone for your help.
