Description

FloCurrStrToFloat converts a string containing numeric and currency characters into a Float data type, by removing the non-numeric characters. If the remaining characters do not represent a valid numeric value an error will occur.

You could use a Try...Except block to handle the error and provide a default value.

(This page corrected in November 2018 to include "Flo" at the beginning of the function name.)
