So you have the numbers in a varchar2 column ?
SQL> create table ap_invoice_distributions_all
  2  as
  3  select '177.96' attribute2, 'TAX' line_type_lookup_code from dual union all
  4  select '870.80', 'TAX' from dual union all
  5  select null, 'TAX' from dual union all
  6  select '1560.00', 'TAX' from dual
  7  /
