    It's difficult to judge without looking at your full datasource configuration, but there are many ways to skin this particular cat. You could map the column to an Attribute Value dimension (e.g. AttributeValue1), then use args.GetNumericValue("AV1#") . You could get it by column index from api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues(yourColIndex). Keep in mind that most values will be treated as text, not Numeric, even if they are numbers; so you will want to get them as "Dimension Values", unless they are in Amount or in Attribute Values.

    api.Parser.DelimitedParsedValues(3) returned:  "Unable to execute formula. Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.  Parameter name: index"

    I tried to use the Attribute dimension with this business rule: 

    "Return Integer.Parse(args.GetNumericValue("A1#"))"

     

    This just returned 0

     

    When I tried the Attribute Value dimension:

    "Return Integer.Parse(args.GetNumericValue("AV1#"))"

    this worked.

    Thank you!!!
