# CFloat

Float = CFloat ( Expression AS Variant ) AS Float Float = CFlt ( Expression AS Variant ) AS Float

Be careful! The current localization is not used by this function. That means: If the expression is a string, the decimal separator in the expression MUST be ".", even if in the localization it is defined as "," like in German, French...
