string into number (LOAD)

Hi,

I am currently searching for a simple way to convert a string into a number.

E.g.: I have the string "€ 5000". As it is not possible to calculate with this I would like to just load the number out of this string and save it as a num value.

Is there any simple solution for this?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

Yes, You must use like below from your environment

SET MoneyFormat='#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)';

May be try

KeepChar(YourField,'0123456790') as NewField

You can also try this

Money#('€ 5000', '€ ###0')

or this for your field

Money#(FieldName, '€ ###0') as FieldName
