This is the inverse of the <span class="T1">Str</span> function. If only part of the string contains numbers, only the first appropriate characters of the string are converted. If the string does not contain any numbers, the <span class="T1">Val</span> function returns the value 0.</p> <p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="S" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/><help:embedded Id="66475" Eid="errorcode" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/></p> <p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="S" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/><help:embedded Id="66475" Eid="err5" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/></p> <p class="Head2"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="10" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Example:</p> <p class="PropText"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="11" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>Sub ExampleVal</p> <p class="PropText"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="12" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>msgbox Val("123.123")</p> <p class="PropText"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="13" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>msgbox Val("A123.123")</p> <p class="PropText"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="14" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>end Sub</p> </body></html>
