| I have quite a bit of data that is stored as text, but would like to convert it to a number (double) for the purpose of reporting.Is this possible? I don't want to change the way the data is stored. |

| An example would help.I think this will work for you though.SELECT CONVERT(float,CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX),YourColumn)) FROM YourTable |
