Remove unwanted characters - string

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

Hoping someone can help with a new problem I'm facing.

 

I'm trying to convert a string (data is captured using MS Forms, the respondent can only enter numbers) to an integer by using the compose action. The action fails when someone enter a decimal of a number e.g. 3.2

 

How can I still convert the string to a number when there's a decimal involved?

 

Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    If you want to convert a string value (eg:3.2) to decimal then you need to use float() expression.

     

    Thanks
