I am extracting the value from PDF if the corresponding fields present & extracted value store into the decimal variable. If the fields not present in the PDF means I am getting the decimal variable value default as Zero.

I need to convert Zero value as empty but Decimal variable not accepting string.empty

How to handle this, Can someone guide me please?

Thanks,
Ashnitha

HI @jamunatj

You cant convert decimal value as empty

Instead what you do is

Create another string variable and use assign

StringVariable =

 if(Decimalvariable.Tostring.Equals("0"),"",DecimalVariable.Tostring)

And you can use this string variable where ever you need

@jamunatj ,

You could change the type from Decimal to String.

Is there a reason you are keeping the type strict to Decimal. When extracting data from texts/String data we keep the type as String or in some case Generic. If we keep it strict to the type we require there maybe issue like these.

We can convert it to the required type later on after the extraction.

Yes , I am using some calculation after extracting , So that using decimal variable instead of string variable.

As you mentioned, Once calculation has been done ,I will convert it as string variable & try it,
