I would be soooooo grateful if someone could give me an answer to this. I am taking data from Excel to VB.NET and validating it within the VB.NET program. Some of the data in the spreadsheet comes out as dbnull. I am currently converting the data to a string becuase of this but need to do some calculation on it so it needs to be in int format. Is there any way of converting a dbnull to some type of numerical integer?

Thank you so much
