https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/rules/9096/to-convert-a-big-number-s-datatype-from-text-to-decimalI am fetching a large number like &#39;9999999.99&#39; from the database where it is in nvarchar. Can we convert it in decimal to compare it with other numbers? Using fn!todecimal is not working here, Is their any work around? Thanks in Advance.
