Text to Number Issue.

Hi,

I'm loading data from a text file with the following amount format 1 000 000,00

I've tried trim, replace, num, but nothing seems to work. I cannot get rid of the spaces in order to convert to number.

Any ideas?

Pls see attached sample data and qv-file

Thanks in advance,

Olle

Try using

     keepchar(@73:92,'1234567890,')as AMOUNT,

Instead of your REPLACE(@73:92,' ','') as AMOUNT,
