How to deal with long numbers?

Help
1

Hi,
I have two numbers to subtract, using below formula. But it does not work for the numbers that are longer than 9 digits. How can I solve my problem?

CInt(row.Item(“Number 1”).ToString)-CInt(row.Item(“Number 2”).ToString)

Thanks,
Aysegul

Hi @aysyavuz

Integer type variables cannot hold 9 digit large numbers. For those large numbers you have to use double data type. To convert to double, use CDBL instead of CINT

CDBL(row.item(“Number”).ToString)

Hi
the reason default int will int32 but we need int64 for long
Kindly try with this
Convert.ToInt64(row(“Number1”).ToString)-Convert.ToInt64(row(“Number2”).ToString)
