I have source column(amount) with datatype string, contains the datas like $793.00, $5791.00,...

I need to load this same data into the target table column(amount) with datatype NUMBER

How can i get this same data with '$' symbol in target by using expression transformation in informatica?

TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(AMOUNT,INSTR(AMOUNT,'$')+1,LENGTH(AMOUNT)-1))

or if it's always the first character and you don't have to worry about spaces

TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(AMOUNT,2,LENGTH(AMOUNT)-1))

Some versions of Informatica do not support TO_NUMBER(). If that is the case with the version you are using, you will need to use one of the following, as appropriate for your use case:
•TO_INTEGER()
•TO_FLOAT()
•TO_DECIMAL()

Decode(IsNew, FALSE,

     '9999-12-31 00:00:00', v_save_view_row_obsolete_day))
