What is the error you are getting? What is your input data?

Doubles are slightly different than floats in Java. You can just use double all the time safely.

@steeld95 ,the expression you were trying is to convert to double,if you want to convert to float use the below way.

row3.BigDecimalField__c != null ? row3.BigDecimalField__c.floatValue() : null
