Could you try storing the values that you're using in the formula as a double prior to the final calculation? I don't really know how it works behind the scenes but wondering if, due to the datatype of the source variables(s), it tries to implicitly store the value as a decimal prior to assigning it to the output variable/cell amount.
So,
dim x as double = someDecimal
dim y as double = someDecimal
dim z as double = x^y
Just clutching at straws
It seems to be failing at the exponent part of this approach (Dim z). What is odd, it looks like negative value is causing an issue. Testing a Dim with an abs() renders. I guess I could do "IF" logic to adjust, but that's odd to me that I couldn't leverage a negative value on an exponent double?
See examples below:
Dim Double
Result: No longer and error message, but noData being returned.
Making the base value ABS
Result Renders (obviously not the math I want, but the calc runs)

This seems to be working.. although, I'm still not exactly sure why I need to call it this way.
