number

To convert a given value to a number

It returns the values of different data types as a number. You can imagine this is needed quite often! 🤓
​
The result depends on the data type. Some examples:
A text consisting only of digits is converted to a number, for example, 
date and time are mapped in Unix time.
In an appointment, Ninox refers by default to the start, if you don't explicitly refer to the end with endof().
A time interval will be converted to milliseconds.
Applied to a choice field, it returns the number of the selected option.
Syntax
number(any)
Return
number
Examples
1
number(today())
Result: 1638226800000 (for example on November 30, 2021 in Germany)
​
1
number("000075639")
Result: 75639 (the text is now a number and can be processed in further calculations)
