Tom,
Doesn't that depend on the decimal separator ?

Just to add to the excellent suggestion.

myVar = " 7.200"
? cdbl(myVar)
7.2

is a good thought, but unless it was a typo, it doesn't quite match the
requested results.

myNewVar = "7200"

perhaps

? cdbl(myvar)*1000
7200

with myNewVar dimensioned as String

Alternatively, you can use also Cdbl

myvar1 = CDbl(myvar)
