SQL - Error converting data type varchar to numeric

Question

I have data in a table that has decimals and stored as a varchar type data. I need to place that data into another table with column that is data type of decimal(18,5)

I get error:

 Error converting data type varchar to numeric

The problem is with this Share column

Query I have is

SELECT IFS.Bin,CFL.CUSIP,IFS.[FROM], 
--IFS.Shares 
--SUM(isnull(cast(IFS.Shares as money),0))
--CAST(isnull(IFS.Shares,0) AS VARCHAR(30))
 Shares =
  Convert(
     DECIMAL(18,5), 
     CASE
     WHEN IFS.Shares LIKE '%[^0-9]%' THEN IFS.Shares --NULL
     ELSE IFS.Shares
     END)
FROM 
mfclearing.ICE.ImportFileStaging IFS INNER JOIN 
mfclearing.Production.ClearingFundList CFL ON 
IFS.[From] = CFL.NasdaqSymbol

So if I try to only use IFS.Shares that doesn't work, I was trying some other SUM and CAST , but the last thing is that I'm trying to do is that Shares = Convert .....

Should not be too relevant to this, but I do want to do an insert into and so I do have an insert statement right above that Select statement INSERT INTO [InterclassExchangeBatchDetails](Bin,FromCusip,FromSymbol,Shares)

The data that I'm working with for reference that is causing the problem, here is a sample of it

Answer 1

只需使用TRY_CONVERT() ：

Shares = TRY_CONVERT(DECIMAL(18,5), IFS.Shares)
