Description

Returns the numbers contained in a string as a numeric value of appropriate type.

Syntax

Val(string)

 

The required string argument is any valid string expression.

Remarks

The Val function stops reading the string at the first character it can't recognize as part of a number. Symbols and characters that are often considered parts of numeric values, such as dollar signs and commas, are not recognized. However, the function recognizes the radix &H (for hexadecimal).
