How to handle formatted textfield for calculation

Getting Started

Hi,
I have formatted a textfield (###,###) for calculation but when I try to get the value of the field (for example 28,000, it only show 28)
How do I unformat a field first before doing calculation?

Thanks in advance

I’m not seeing the behavior you describe.

TextField1.Text gives me the text in the field.

However if you are converting the text to a number (using Val for example), you will want to strip out any commas first.
