Use this method to convert a number stored in a double to a string representation of that number, based on the default or specified locale.

Definition

Function Float(fNumber As Double,vtLocale As Variant) As Variant

Parameters

fNumber

A Double that contains the floating-point number to convert.

vtLocale

A Variant that specifies the locale to use to convert the floating-point number to a string. If this parameter is not specified, the value of the Locale property of the DataFunctions object is used.

Return Values

If this method completes successfully, it returns a string Variant that contains the string representation of the specified floating-point number; otherwise, NULL is returned.

Error Values

This method sets the Number property of the global Err object to S_OK (&H00000000) to indicate success and to standard COM error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.

Remarks

For more information about memory ownership issues related to COM property and method parameters, see Managing COM Parameter Memory.
