AsNumber(value)
This function converts the value to number. This is useful when you wish to validate the contents of a field or retrieve the number value of a field.
- Text should have only digits and one decimal point.
- Boolean is converted into -1 (TRUE) or 0 (FALSE).
- Number remains itself.
- Everything else returns error.
Example | Result |
---|---|
asnumber( 0 - 13 ) | -13 |
asnumber( 1 > 2 ) | 0 |
asnumber( 'text' ) | #Can't convert to number |
