Converting strings to decimal

1
Hi,   I am using this IOT Platform called Thingspeak. It is only able to export data from Thingspeak to Mendix. I am developing a native mobile and I would love to use graphs in my mobile app.   The problem now is that I have managed to convert string to decimal by using a calculated attribute. ( For eg, my entity has 2 attributes. One is a string and the other is decimal ( Calculated value). ) However, I am not able to use this calculated attribute in my native mobile app as it will give me an error.   I looked at Mendix import mapping and it looks like I am able to convert. However, I am not sure on how do I apply it and I also had errors when I tried it out. My idea is to have  a decimal attribute in my entity and I am able to use this in my native mobile app. I really really need help please I have been stuck for a week. I managed to convert it and used it as a calculated attribute but these errors keep showing up when I try to apply it in import mapping. I would appreciate it there are pictures or examples to guide me on this please.

HI Andy,

The Parse microflow parameter should be of type Integer since in the Importing the FIled 2 is an integer value , but the Parse microflow paramter of type object Top_2. 
Change the Parameter type from object → Integer/Long. 
This wil solve the issue.
