before the select tool try using a formula tool that says 

 

Replace([USD Amount], ",", "")

 

That will remove the comma and allow for you to change the data type to a number.

Hi @Lalaiah.

 

Exactly what @BrandonB said but you will need to use a Multi-Field Formula tool instead of a regular Formula tool to change the field type without changing the field name.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your quick response 

. It's working fine but again getting a new warning as 'ConvError: Select (27): USD Amount: "532.38" has too many digits after the decimal and was truncated.'

are you trying to convert to integer? try converting to double.

 

Integers are whole numbers only.

@Lalaiah 
To increase the length, maybe use a Fixed Decimal type?

Hi,

 

I tried both 

Warnings:

For Double: " ConvError: Select (27): USD Amount: ########### is not a valid number."

For Intgr :  "ConvError: Select (27): USD Amount: 532.38 lost information in translation"

For Fixed Decimal: "ConvError: Select (27): USD Amount: "2513.10" has too many digits after the decimal and was truncated."

What are your options/user settings/localization set up for?

 

and you can confirm you are selecting the fields in a multi-field tool, using tonumber([_currentfield_]) in the formula and clicking on change type to double?

use the multi-field tool with the options I discussed above. If that doesn't work can you post more numbers? and it may be time for THE REGEX SOLUTION.
