Select query filter for decimal value

Build
#1

I have scrapped data from website which has 6 columns including column name Last price with values in decimal. When I tried to select query to filter value which is less than 1000, it is not working and returns all values

newDT = ExtractDataTable.Select("[Last Price] < ‘1000’").CopyToDataTable

when I add newDT to excel, I see all values including ones greater than 1000… website ref: http://www.moneycontrol.com/technicals/gapup/bse/index.html.

thanks in advance

Thanks @aksh1yadav… It solved my problem… “Convert([Last Price],‘System.Decimal’) > ‘1000’”) is one I needed.

Actually one strange issue… Initial Datatable ExtractDataTable returns 166 records in excel file but when I do

ExtractDataTable.Rows.Count

returns only 159. Do you have any idea y this differenceGAPUP.xaml (15.8 KB)
? attached xaml.

It seems problem with the extracting node … i guess. just set the Extract Metadata Activity ContinueOnError Property to False then try to run. you will ge some idea :slight_smile:

No luck. I see some of entries present in Excel is not shown in webpage where data is extracted. May be it includes hidden values. However datatable.rows.count should return count of data present in it. its not happening! Thanks :slight_smile:
