    If I understand you correctly, you're needing to strip the non-numeric data from the field and the convert to a decimal.

     

    You can easily do this via the following ETL steps:

    First you'll want to add a 'Replace Text' option enter the following the Search term field:

    [^0-9.]

    And set the 'Use RegEx' check box for the Search as shown:

    Once you've replaced all the text with the Empty String option, you then want to 'Set Column Type' and just choose Decimal if that's what you want.

     

    Your resultant dataset at the end should then be workable with a numeric value.
