CSng

Function that converts an expression into a Single (Number.)

Syntax
      CSng (expression)

Single precision values have only 7 significant digits of precision. Floating-point number types should not be used for storing currency values.

Single can be used to store values from -3402823E³⁸ to -1.401298E^-45 or from 1.401298E^-45 to 3.402823E³⁸.

Examples

Dim sngDemo
sngDemo = CSng(64.1234)

PowerShell equivalent, converting a String to a Single:

$num = "11.64"
$num = [single] $num

“People have a peculiar pleasure in making converts, that is, in causing others to enjoy what they enjoy, thus finding their own likeness represented and reflected back to them” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
