Replace all commas in Datatable with Fullstop?

i have lots of values in my data table that contain commas e.g. “2,7” but i want to replace that comma with a full stop E.G “2.7”. how can i archive this for all values in datatable?

Hi @Rowley101

You can use this condition in Assign activity inside For Each Row in Data Table

CurrentRow("Column Name")=CurrentRow("Column Name").ToString.Replace(",",".")

Hope it helps!!

Does that mean i have to do that for every column?

@Rowley101
It will do for every row of a particular Column.

Regards,

where we just adapt:

Replace(",",".")

Hi @Rowley101

=> Use the read range workbook activity to read the rows in the excel and store in a datatable.
=> Use for each row in datatable activity to iterate the rows in the datatable.
=> Inside for each insert the Assign activity and give the below expression

- Assign -> row("ColumnName") = row("ColumnName").ToString().Replace(",", ".")

=> After for each activity insert the Write range workbook activity to write the same datatable to same excel.

Hope it helps!!
