# Val Function

Use the Val function to convert a string that represents a number into numeric data type.

The string passed to the Val function is locale-independent. This means that commas are interpreted as thousands separators and a dot is used as the decimal separator.

### Syntax:

        Val (Text As String)

### Return value:

Double

### Parameters:

Text: 숫자를 나타내는 문자열입니다.

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 then Val returns 0.

### Error codes:

### Example:

        Sub ExampleVal
            MsgBox Val("123.1") + 1 ' 124.1
            ' Below 123,1 is interpreted as 1231 since "," is the thousands separator
            MsgBox Val("123,1") + 1 ' 1232
            ' All numbers are considered until a non-numeric character is reached
            MsgBox Val("123.4A") ' 123.4
            ' The example below returns 0 (zero) since the string provided does not start with a number
            MsgBox Val("A123.123") ' 0
        End Sub
