Saved Search Formula To Sum Numbers In Text Field

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:45PM in NetSuite Developer Community 11 comments

I have a text field let's just call it {textfield} that will contain data like this:-

e.g.
["400.00","500.00","300.00"]
[300]
["100.00","200.00"]
etc..

I am trying to create a formula field to sum the numbers in this text field but no luck.

I tried this to remove all the [, " and comma and hope by adding a + it will auto sum but the result is still a string
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE({textfield},'[',''),'"',''),',','+'),']','')

What I want to get the result from the formula field is
["400.00","500.00","300.00"] ⇒ 1200.00
[300] ⇒ 300
["100.00","200.00"] ⇒ 300

Anyone got any idea do let me know. Thanks !
