Hi All.
My requirement is to convert string numbers to decimal numbers in Power Automate flow, Is there any way to do this? Please Help me!
I tried with the value() function it works in Power Apps and not in Power Automate.
Thanks,
@Anonymous
Hi @Anonymous
Pls use float function.
As an example, float('5.0') will convert string 5.0 to decimal number.
If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
Thanks
Hi,I have file names (string) as such which I used split function to get the numbers using ' ' as separator. However using float or decimal function will only output the number up to 1 decimal place.
1. 1.0 xxxx
2. 1.1 xxxx
3. 1.10 xxxx
4. 1.12 xxxx
Cant seem to work with format number from strings too.
Hi @eizk
You could use formatNumber function to get 2 decimal places:
formatNumber(float(first(split('1.1 xxxx',' '))),'#.00')
I got the answer now. 1.10 is just 1.1. I would recommend naming the file to x.01 instead of x.1.Thank you.
