Conversion of String to Negative

Akeelah

Hi,
I am trying to convert the following strings ( -34,-45,-76) to integer
The select tool is showing error "-34 is not recognized"

 

And I tried to replace "-"

 

IF Contains([Min Temp1], "-") THEN
Replace([Min Temp1],"-",' ')

ELSE ([Min Temp1])

ENDIF

 

 

Output = ?34 , ?45.....

You mentioned "strings".  Is the text     -34,-45,-76     all in one column, one row?

 

Or is the data in separate rows in your data source, like

    Min Temp1

     -34

     -45

    -76

 

?
