Hi,

You can also use keepchar(Number,'0123456789')

Use PurgeChar:

=PurgeChar('#@$1236','@&$~#^@')

Add as many characters as you need as second criteria

You can use this function as well in the script:

Purgechar(....) as Number

Use Purgechar() function,

Purgechar(Number ,'@!#$%^&*()_+-=:"{}|?/')

Not applicable

As dreamer4‌ mentioned, If you need only numbers from the column and populate that as a number in QlikView, then use Num(keepchar(Number,'0123456789')).
