>The part numbers are in a format of 999.999 Most of the time but sometimes 999.999ABC and sometimes 999.9999. The problem is that although the part number shows as 123.456 or 123.4567 in the cell, TRANSFORM() converts it to 123.45670000000. Any ideas on how to grab the number as it should be. I can't just trim the number as the length varies and sometimes does end in 00.

Try using alltrim(padr(myNumber, 30)).

Transform depends on SET DECIMALS setting.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
