How do I replace a value for a field if the value is lesser than 0.02 by "Good"?

ValueKeydate
0.0211/1/2017
0.0211/2/2017
0.0511/3/2017
0.0211/4/2017
0.0211/5/2017
0.0211/6/2017

 

Suppose the value is lesser than 0.02, I want to replace the value by string "Good"

 

ValueKeydate
Good11/1/2017
Good11/2/2017
0.0511/3/2017
Good11/4/2017
Good11/5/2017
Good11/6/2017

I get this error: 
Error in 'eval' command: Type checking failed. The '<=' operator received different types.

When I use a single quote outside the value, I get No result

 

| eval Value=if(Value<='0.02',"Good",Value)

It is Value that you need to convert to a number for the numeric comparison to work not converting the number to a string

| eval Value=if(tonumber(Value)<=0.02,"Good",Value)
