Expected behaviour:

I would expect the value to be extracted correctly through to the BHoM Object.

Test file(s):

Set up from Wiki can be used to replicate this. the project file has been attached, with just testing [Design Check] sheet and range [A12:F12] shows a bug due to the links to another sheet I assume. This may be due to the type of data being pulled. The value may pull correctly but the equation may throw an error.
