Query on scientific notation

DanielCarro

Hi,

 

I have a situation with scientific number

 

DanielCarro_0-1659543960188.png

 

I used the formula tool : 

ToNumber([Field])

but for some reason it works for some but others it doesn't .

 

Any suggestions to make the calculation work for all of them.

 

Kind Regards,

Dan

Using the ToNumber on a regular formula tool will not change the data type of an existing field. You need to change the data type using the Select tool (type Double) or with the Multi-field formula.
