Value from text to number

Hello,

i have a problem to convert money that comes from text into numer. Example:
i have many records like this 00000000000058894,00 and i want convert into number. I tried num or num# and other composite formula but none works.

Resolved with the function ReplaceRegex like this:


ReplaceRegEx("Importo totale", '^0+', '') with this function i can delete the zeros until found a number different from zero.

 

Thanks

Qlik is likely misinterpreting this string due to the comma. Try to use the REPLACE() function to change the Comma to a '.' and then use NUM or NUM# as you have already tried.

 

If all of your numbers come in like this 

You might also try changing the following on the main tab

SET DecimalSep=',';

Are you doing this in an expression or in the script?
