    Hi LokeDomo,

     

    It sounds like you have a text column that should contain only numbers, but there are some rows where that field contains non-numbers. And you're trying to filter out or perhaps nullify the non-number rows. Is that correct?

     

    You can use regular expressions to check for letters as below:

    SELECT
    `RecordID`,
    `NumberAsText`,
    `NumberAsText` regexp '^[0-9]+$',
    cast(case when `NumberAsText` regexp '^[0-9]+$' = 1 then `NumberAsText` end as signed) as `NumberAsNumber`
    from `numberastext`

     

    In the above snippet, `NumberAsText` regexp '^[0-9]+$' checks to see if NumberAsText contains ONLY numerals 0 to 9 and returns 1 if so. In the last colum above, I check to see if the field contains only numbers and return the number if so; otherwise, return NULL. And finally cast as a signed integer. 

     

    Hope that helps.
