As I want to retrieve data from datatable and do calculation with number, how to convert data in the datatable

Best answer by Constantine

Hello @xiaoqw ,

 

RenameField returns an INFOTABLE and not an INTEGER, so you probably want to do something like this:

 

 

var result = parseInt(output.value);
// or
var result = parseInt(output.rows[0].value);

Hi @xiaoqw.

 

Are you trying to convert existing data in the table?  We tested using a string value and were able to perform calculations on it without the need to convert the data type. If your scenario is different you could try running the parseInt() function.

 

If you still have issues, please provide specifics of your datatable so we can test further.

 

Regards.

var output = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].RenameField({
t: Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].Aggregate({
t: me.QueryDataTableEntries({ maxItems: undefined,
query: query,
values:undefined,
source: undefined,
tags:undefined
}),
columns: 'value',
aggregates: 'SUM',
groupByColumns: 'value'
}),
from: "SUM_value",
to: "value"
});

var result = parseInt(output);

 here is my code and output should be number but now is NaN. Please take a look and give me suggestion how to edit
