Hello @sidyahmed_pbix ,

 

so what you need to do first is to remove the numbers after the dot in the end then convert it.

 

to remove the numbers after the dot you need to use extract after delemiter so you could take it off,

 

check this video to see how https://youtu.be/OyvXRIIWTPg?si=AsmnLNizOyCEIIQF
