Data Cleanup - Datatype any to number
- Anonymous2 years ago
Hi,dharmendars007 ,thanks for your concern about this issue.
Your answer is excellent!
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hello,stiani .I am glad to help you.
Based on your description, you have a text column that needs to be processedHere is my test data(Text type with spaces)
The text here is formatted as a number plus space plus decimal point (I interpret the comma in the screenshot you provided as a decimal sign)
You need to convert it to a numeric type (signed decimal type)
If my understanding is correct, you can refer to my test below
1. Split the question column into multiple columns based on spaces2. Select the multiple columns that have been split (after multiple selections), merge them into one column, and successfully remove the spaces.
3. Set the data type correctly to numeric (decimal)
4. Correctly format the data for the modified field in desktop (keep two decimal places)
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
Best Regards,
Carson Jian,
