Impressive! Through changes to update escape road city 2 and learn to effectively use equipment programs. Explore and approach effectively.

I already did that and it is not giving me exactly what I need. I need every item in the text field to be transformed into a numerical value so I can subtotal on it. I was hoping for a formula in the "Freehand SQL" that would transform the data. Is this possible?

All of the text is already formatted like this example "12.34"
