Perhaps a simple problem, nevertheless I diddn't succeed in solving it:
In my database I have a string field with this format: 1234_.000 (numbers followed by an underscore and a dot and then three zeroes).
In QlikView I want to make a numeric field out of it: 1234.
Is this possible by ONLY using num# ? I know I could simply use num(replace(myField,'_.000','')) as my_NumField, but I thought it should actually be possible by only using num# .
I'd be thankful for any suggestions.

Hi,
here is example, num_val values contain numbers without _.000 parts:
str_table:
LOAD * INLINE [
str_val
1234_.000
5555_.000
77.7_.000
1_.000
1111111111111_.000
];
num_table:
LOAD Num(Num#(str_val, '#_.000', '.', ',')) as num_val
Resident str_table;
regards
Try this:
subfield(myField, '_', 1) as ....
I tried num# but it wasn't succesfull.
Regards
If you get rid of the character values from within the field, QlikView will automatically recognize it as a numeric.
Purgechar(MyField,'_') as MyField.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I know the problem can be solved using purgechar etc., but as said I wonder if there is a way to do it by ONLY using num#. Actually the manual uses the example num#(A,'abc#,#') which is obviously able to mask out the leading string 'abc'. So I imagined a num#(myField,'#_.#' ..) might do the job. I tried several variations, but without any success.
hi,
this can be done with num#(myField,'#_.000', '.', ',')
regards
Sorry for late answer. I tried with num#(myField,'#_.000', '.', ','), but it didn't work either. The figures look thus:
num#(QUARK,'#_.000','.',',') |
---|
768_.000 |
1234_.000 |
76514_.000 |

OK, of course, I forgot NUM(), so actually Num(Num#(str_val, '#_.000', '.', ',')) solves the problem.
Thx & best regards
