    This indicates a mismatch with decimal seperators. Either replace , with . in your source or include that in an expression replace(yourstring, ',','.')

    Hi @zbegumdost,

    Do you want to convert a string number into a float number?

     

    I think the key to your issue is the delimeter you used is a comma, you could firstly replace the "," comma with the dot ".".

     

    Please try as below:

    float(replace(items('Apply_to_each_2')?['Column'],',','.'))
