Big Decimal to Float

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to convert a big decimal to float but keep running into errors.  I have tried the following and it will not work.  I get can't convert big decimal to float.  Any suggestions?

row3.BigDecimalField__c != null ? row3.BigDecimalField__c.doubleValue() : null

What is the error you are getting?  What is your input data?

Doubles are slightly different than floats in Java.  You can just use double all the time safely.

@steeld95 ,the expression you were trying is to convert to double,if you want to convert to float use the below way.

row3.BigDecimalField__c != null ? row3.BigDecimalField__c.floatValue() : null
