The StrToFloat function converts a String into a Float data type.
If the value that is in the String contains currency formatting, then use the FloCurrStrToFloat function instead.
StrToFloat will accept the decimal place full-stop (.) only as the decimal symbol, regardless of any Windows setting.
If the String does not contain a numeric value, then an error will occur. In this case you could use a Try...Except block to handle the error and provide a default value.
