Cannot convert text to a number
What happened
You tried to enter text in a field with a number data type, or preceded a valid number with a text character.
For example, you see this message if you try to enter any character but a number in a field in the Text Properties box where a number is required, such as Left margin.
What you can do
If this problem occurs in IBM® Notes®, enter a valid number.
If you are a designer and entering
a formula in a field, use the @TextToNumber
function to convert
the text to a number. When you use the @TextToNumber
function
and it fails, the result is @Error
rather than this message.
