Hi Gurus,
 
I am getting the error 'the remaining text doesn't appear to be a part of formula' when I check the following in a formula. Could you please correct it ? In the below mentioned 'Emp' field is string type and I want to convert it in to number.
 

(IF {X.Emp}= '100' then
{X.Emp}= 'Null'
 else ToNumber({X.Emp}) )
 
Thanks,
Sukumar

First off, it appears you are trying to set a database field a value, you cannot do that.  If you want to assign a variable a value you use the ":=" , "=" is for comparison.  Here is what I think you want to do.

If {x.Emp} = '100' then 'Null' else {x.Emp}

You cannot insert a Null so you have to use a zero

IF {X.Emp}= '100' then 0 else ToNumber({X.Emp})
