Hello all!

I’d like to ask some help in Dynamo.I started to get acquainted with the dynamo program, but I always run into problem.  
I found some script here, but i couldn’t make a working one.  
Could you help me to find what the problem is?  
Warning text:Warning: Point.ByCoordinates expects argument type(s) (double, double, double), but was called with (string, string, double).

your data from Excel is coming in as strings (text)  
You need to convert this to a number- use the String.ToNumber node
