Hi

 

Is there any way to do this? I tried a computed column OLD_VAR * 1 but got the error attached, I want to do this on point click because is faster than creating a program just to convert one var.

You can do it by defining an Advanced Expression as a calculated column with the INPUT function, using something like:

 

  input(t1.CNPJ_CPF,best12.)

 

(replace "best12" with appropriate informat spec to get the precision you need).
