What is CSng Function in Excel VBA

The SCng function is a VBA function that converts any data type to a single-precision floating-point number ("given that it is a number"). I mostly use CSng function to convert text formatted numbers into actual numbers.

Syntax of CSng function:

CSng(expression)

expression: It can be any expression. A text or a method that returns some values.

Here's one Example:

Convert Text to Number using VBA

Sub TextToNumber()
 stri="5.5"
 stri = CSng(stri)
 debug.print stri
End Sub

The above VBA snippet will convert the stri into a number. A similar function CDec. The CDec function converts given expression into a decimal number.

Another Example of CSng function:
