I would still like to have the record to be imported in the new table but to have a 0 value in the new table numeric field. I would then believe that just using ISNUMERIC() wouldn't enough for that request. At first, I thought that I could use a syntax in the field level list so to have all the records but to convert into numeric, without receiving the error. Is that possible?

1e5 or 1d4 should be treated as numeric by isnumeric function. In fact, Sergey has a blog on this very topic
