Remarks
The decimal data type is appropriate for very large numbers or for numbers that require high precision. A number of this type can be accurate (for rounding purposes) up to 29 digits. The Decimal data type is often used for financial calculations.
Use the AsDecimal methods to convert a numeric value in string format to a Decimal value. Before you try to convert, you can check whether the string can be converted to this type by calling the IsDecimal(String) method, which returns true if the string value can be converted.
