Convert Text to number with DAX

I have a derived column but the number there is in text format. I have tried different DAX formular to conver it to the right format(integer) but always get error e.g 

size integer = CONVERT(Sheet2[Size Value],INTEGER) =======> Cannot convert value '' of type Text to type Integer.
 
I was thinking maybe because there are some blank rows but not sure. Can someone hlep with the right DAX formular. Thanks.Capture.JPG

Actually I was expecting this response. Apparently you have more than just numbers in this column. In order to detect the cell(s) that have the problem use the following code then look for the blank cells:

IFERROR ( VALUE ( Sheet2[Size Value] ), BLANK ( ) )

Hi @tamerj1 

Thank you!!! , that worked for me. I have tried using blank before but did not work but the IFERROR statement helped. Thank you so much.

Hi @ninimoke 
Try VALUE function >>> VALUE ( Sheet2[Size Value] )

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I still face the same issue.
