I have to pass a variable with decimals from power automate desktop to a powershell script, the problem is that PAD works decimals with comma and powershell works decimals with point, what can I do before passing the variable with the decimal number to powershell to convert the comma into a point?

Thank you very much for your time.

Hi @speedhb90

But PAD works with decimals with dot, see below

For converting the comma to dot, use replace action to replace the comma with dots like below

The decimal separator that PAD uses depends on your regional settings on your machine. So, it might work for you, but might not work for someone else. PowerShell does expect a dot as a decimal separator regardless of the regional settings.

Using Replace text is the best bet here.
