Check the data types of your input and output elements. They should be the same or you have to convert from one to another by applying standard functions.

The most common cause for this error is what Dhiren.Ghelani posted, your data types don't match, meaning, you're either trying to put a text in a numeric field, or, a number in a text field. If the be the case, use one of the basic functions to put text i a numeric field, as long as the text is a number.

The other possible cause is if you're trying to put a field into a group or a group into a field.
