Conversion errors using regex

Hi 

 

I'm trying to convert numbers in a format such as (0.64%) into double s.t. output is -0.0064. Have tried using regex in the formula tool as attached and the outcome is as expected but kicks off a ton of conversion errors


Any ideas how i can clean this up to avoid conversion errors?

 

Thanks in advance

Nish

This will work :

 

tonumber(
REGEX_Replace(
REGEX_Replace(
	REGEX_Replace([Value], "\%", "")
, 	"\(", "-")
, 	"\)", "")
)
/100

You weren't removing the closing bracket :)
