Changing a string to a number
Hi all,
I have a column that has values like this '14%'. Domo is considering it a string, but I'd like it to number, preferably a decimal. I've been trying a few different SQL functions in Dataflows to chop off the percent sign (and then CAST it into a decimal), but the ones that would do the trick don't seem to be supported (Len, Reverse + Stuff). Does anyone have any ideas of how to handle this?
Thank you

If you can get rid of the % out of the value you then you can cast it as a number. Then take that number and just divide by 100. There is your decimal value.
So what about (going step by step)
TRIM(TRAILING '%' FROM 'your_column') = 14
CAST((TRIM(TRAILING '%' FROM 'your_column')) AS DECIMAL(2,2)) = 14.00Finally --
(CAST((TRIM(TRAILING '%' FROM 'your_column')) AS DECIMAL(2,2)))/100 = .14PS - This could be totally wrong but maybe gets you going.

How about something like this in dataflow?
convert(integer, RTRIM("your column name", '%')) AS "new column name"
