How do I change text in script to number format

I have a field in access that is a "text" format for year but it is all numbers. I cannot change my access dbase for reasons no need to go in to.

in the script I have the below. How do I tell qlikview to treat 'Fiscal Year' as a number and not text?

You'll usually get the behavior you want with QV without explicitly casting to num, but if you need to:

num("Fiscal Year") as "Fiscal Year"
