I’m new to Dynamo, and I want to modify the following Dynamo graph from Dana DeFlippi’s ‘Automating Occupancy’ class from Autodesk University.

This graph copies/pushes a project (number) parameter 'LS Occupant Load Factor_Key" from the Key Schedule to a shared (number) parameter “LS Occupant Load Factor” for placement in an Area Tag.

I want to edit it so I can push the ‘LS OL Factor Net Gross Fixed_Key’ project parameter (see above) to a ‘LS OL Factor Net Gross Fixed’ shared parameter so I can get whether its fixed or gross square footage in the tag. But when I edit it there is an error in the String.ToNumber node because this parameter is text and not a number!
Here’s the other photo I was going to add to my OP showing the Key Schedule.
The red column works with the original graph and I am trying to edit the graph to work for the highlighted column.
Would you post an image with all of the drop downs and the error messages visible? It looks like you are trying to pull a number “LS Occupat Load Factor Key” and Push it to “LS OL Factor Net Gross Fixed_Key”. You first need to make sure you have a Shared Parameter to push it to that is also loaded in your tag. Then you just need to change which Parameter Name you are pulling from in the graph and the String.ToNumber because you don’t need a number.
I understand that I didn’t need the ‘String.ToNumber’ node but didn’t know what to replace it with. Based on your diagram and what I just tested I didn’t need to replace replace that node with anything, just bypass it. Thank you for the help. Like I said, I’m a ‘newbie’ and maybe jumped too far in the deep end instead of tip-toe-ing in.
Sorry the link didn’t work. Sean’s sketch helped out. I go it to work by bypassing the ‘String.ToNumber’ node. I assumed that I needed to replace it instead of just eliminating it. Appreciate the help!
