You find the functions in the Numeric > Conversion Palette.

Either typecast or convert to I16. See image.

(You could also coerce and simply change the indicator representation to I16 :))

Hello you Knight of NI.

I thought that the question and the answer is so simple that I do not need a screen shot to explain it.

You have stolen my accepted solution and my Kudos .

And to be honest I never mind about that .

I am very sorry about that. Of course one might argue that without the picture I would have been more than three minutes faster, beating you for the first answer 😮 🙂

In fact, the answer is quite a bit more complicated, because we were never told what the representation of the original "unsigned decimal" is. Common sense would assume that it's U16, but we cannot be sure.

For example if the input is an U32 number of 65516, the typecast would fail. (The "To I16" conversion bullet and simple coercion would still be OK).
