Select Tool

The Select tool removes zeros after comma. For example, it converts 1,000 to 1. The 'Use commas as decimal separators' box is unchecked.

What is the remedy for this?

When converting numbers stored as strings (when they include a comma) into a number, your best bet is to first remove all non-number characters from the field before doing the conversion in the Select tool.  Using the formula replace([start],',','') where "[start]" is the name of your original text field should do the trick.

You can also try to use ToNumber(Column Name) formula in the formula tool to convert string column into a new number column once get rid of string rows. In case you don't remove string rows, they will turn into 0.
