error while converting text to integer/float

Arthi Annadi

I have a column that is a text column has values in %, $ and -ve values as well. I tried replacing the % ,',' and '$' to have only numeric values to convert it into a float or integer column. However I am getting the below error. What can I do to convert the numbers into numeric column so that I can apply calculations to the column further.

Failed to convert value '(155137)' from type 'String' to type 'Integer'.

You can feed it into a regular expression in a formula tile to convert () to a negative number with something like this:

REGEXP_REPLACE(`field`, '\(\d+\)', '-$1')
