The Data Type Problem dialog box appears when the user has entered a formula in the Data Sets dialog box whose result is of the wrong type for the data set in question. For user-created data sets, there are two ways of handling this.

1.The type of the data set can be changed to match the type returned by the formula. For example, if the type of the data set is an integer, and the formula is "0.5," the type of the data set could be changed to real.

2.The formula could be adjusted to match the type of the data. For example, if the type of the data set is an integer, and the formula is "0.5," the formula could be changed to "Round(0.5).” (In this case, "Round(0.5)" would then be converted to "0" because Round(0.5) is a constant.)

The built-in data sets for ModelMuse cannot have their type changed because the type must match the type of the corresponding data set in PHAST, MODFLOW, SUTRA, or Well Footprint. Thus, for these data sets, only the second option is available.
