Cannot Convert Numeric Text to Numeric

Hi,

I've this table that comes with Budget Fields.
This budget fields are in text and we have 

fe_username_2-1694003878473.png

 

 

We're trying to convert them to Decimal or Numeric as long we have a Numeric value like 56,00757

What I tried :

  1. Replace dot with comma
  2. Changed to Decimal, value is like 5600757
  3. If I do Fixed Decimal Number 5,600,757.00 (5 milions 6 hundred thousand and seven hundred fifty-seven dot 00)

I've tried everything to have 56,00757 as Number, Even through I set my locale (IT-IT), I don't manage to fix it.
Does anyone know how to solve it ?

Create a new report, before doing anything, set your report regional settings to italy.

 

Then do this your step 1 and 2. It will return correctly
