number
To convert a given value to a number
It returns the values of different data types as a number. You can imagine this is needed quite often! 
The result depends on the data type. Some examples:
A text consisting only of digits is converted to a number, for example,
date and time are mapped in Unix time.
In an appointment, Ninox refers by default to the start, if you don't explicitly refer to the end with
endof().A time interval will be converted to milliseconds.
Applied to a choice field, it returns the number of the selected option.

Examples
number(today())Result: 1638226800000 (for example on November 30, 2021 in Germany)
number("000075639")Result: 75639 (the text is now a number and can be processed in further calculations)
