DECIMAL functionThe DECIMAL function converts the text representation of a number in another base, to base 10 (decimal).
Parts of a DECIMAL formula
DECIMAL(value, base)
Part
Description
Notes
value
The unsigned value to be converted to decimal, provided as a string.
base
The base (or radix) to convert the number into.
The base is an integer from 2 to 36.
Sample formula
DECIMAL(101,2)
Notes
The string representation of the value is used, which should only contain numeric characters (i.e. scientific notation isn’t permitted). The text of a string should be no longer than 255 characters.
The DECIMAL function only converts to positive integers.
