Hi @NicholasPowerB 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WsjC1sLQ0NjG1NFKK1YlWMtQzMjZRio0FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [num = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"num", type number}}),
    Custom1 = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{"num", each if _ = 8589934592 then _/1000000000 else _})
in
    Custom1

Output
