You can now use TO_FLOAT() to convert numbers from text-based fields to float in Calculated Fields. These can then be used in arithmetic operations, comparisons, or filters.

For a Calculated Field to convert a text field, wrap the field with TO_FLOAT().

Text fields must only contain numbers. Fields including text will return an invalid result.

24, 0.25: Valid field values.

24fps, 75%: Invalid and generates an error in the table.

Calculated fields already using TO_FLOAT() before this change remain unaffected.
