How can I remove the $ symbol from my attributes?
I have 4 attributes in my data set with polynomial values that I would like to transform into numerical values but I can't because I have the $ symbol in front of them
How can I remove it?

Altair EmployeeHi,
check out the replace operator or replace in Turbo Prep.

I've tried but I don't know what expression to use
Hi,
try these:
^ *\$ * (if the $ is in the beginning)
*\$ *$ (if the $ is in the end)
^ = start of the string
* = optional space(s)
\$ = quoted $ (quoting with \ to remove the special meaning
$ = end of string

I've tried to put the regular expression you've told me but it doesn't work for me. It's probably because I'm putting it wrong.
I attach the images of my problem to make it more visual
the dollar symbol does not let me convert my variable to numeric and this prevents me from working correctly with it.
Hi,
it works perfectly with test data similar to yours.
Hint: In the regular expression input box you can experiment with the RE on a test string and interactively refine the it. This helps a lot when developing regexes.
