Hi Awais07,

You can use "Scan from String" function (use quick drop to search for the item). It should change the string to integer.

Once converted to integer, I'm sure you'll know how to do the rest.

Scan from String:

Thanks for your response, Lennard.

I have used "scan from string" and the input string lets suppose is 2467.8989, ouput coming from scan from string is 2467.9  (rounded off?). I have used %f for formatting. I want the whole string, kindly help.

Hi Awais07,

Once you created an indicator for the output of the Scan from String, right click on that indicator >> Display Format... >> Increase the value of the Digit to 9

Thanks lennard for providing me the best solution. I then divided the integer with 100 and got the desired result. Thank you again.
