multiple ReplaceChar(String, y, z)

Hello

 

Is there a formula that I can use to do a multiple ReplaceChar(String, y, z)

for example My field is a String of amount below

($1,450.65)

 

I need to remove both brackets, dollar sign and comma

the result being 1450.65 I would like to do this formula in one

 

alternatively is there another way to convert the above string of ($1,450.65) to extract 1450.65 from the original

 

many thanks

 

Denny

Hi @DennyChan

 

REPLACECHAR([Field1],"($,)","")

 

Should do it - Change [Field1] for whatever your field is.

 

Thanks,

Joe
