Note

The Val function reads the characters of a string until the first character that cannot be interpreted as part of a number. Symbols and characters that are often recognized as part of a numeric value (e.g. currency symbols and commas) are not recognized. Spaces, tabs, and line feed characters are removed from the argument. The Val function recognizes only the point (.) as a valid decimal point.
