Hi,

 

You can use VALUE to convert that into number.
VALUE(text)
Converts a text string that represents a number to a number

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

Thank you!!  That worked.  Would you happen to know how to update a field when it involves a picklist?

 

Field to update: Category

Field type: Text

 

Updated with: Entitlement.Category which is a picklist

Hi,


May be workflow will help you to do this. If not through workflow then you have to write a trigger.
