General Caster Changes

Hello,

I am currently struggling with the General Caster app. I am no longer able to use the formula column as a column I can cast into a numbers column. I thought that was previously an available column.

Is there a change that has taken place in the last few months that discontinued this feature?

I am having the same issue, I think Monday changed something on formulas bc I am having other issues with formula columns as well.

Hello @agingerich @tarsulowicz

Hey Amanda and Tammarie :slightly_smiling_face:

You’re right, this is due to a platform change. Formula columns are no longer treated as numeric columns, so apps like General Caster can’t cast them into Numbers columns anymore. This isn’t an app bug, but a broader monday.com update.

Common workarounds
Use a Numbers column to store the value and keep the Formula column for display only
Recreate the logic directly in a Numbers column where possible

Hi,

If you’re open to trying an alternative, our Column to Column app doesn’t have any issues casting formula columns into numbers (or any other column). You can do it using this recipe:

It’s also available in workflows:
