Convert list text to list number

[Watever]

Hi everyone,

How can I convert numbers stored as text in a list to a list of numbers ?

Actually, may be there is even a better way to do it.

I want to split my data by positions that are "dynamic".

In excel, I have a cell where value are stored as this : 0, 8, 10, 44, 50 ....

I tried to replace this : 

#"Split Column by Positions1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Filtered Rows1", "DATA", Splitter.SplitTextByPositions({0, 8, 18, 37, 44, 54, 64, 72, 85, 95, 105, 114, 123})),

with something like

spliter_pos = Text.Split(fnGetParameter("Split_by_position"),","),

#"Split Column by Positions1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Filtered Rows1", "DATA", Splitter.SplitTextByPositions(spliter_pos)),

But it doesn't work because my list are text instead of numbers.

Thank you, I figured out at the sametime.

**bleep** I spent so much time until I decided to ask and that made me figure it out at the same time 🙂

thank you.

@Watever  try this

let
    Source = {"0", "8", "10", "44", "50"},
    textList =  List.Transform(Source,each Number.From(_))
in
    textList
