Hi there,
I have several columns (all columns with Est & Year in the header) that include null value and number like this 190,513. Power BI automatically recognizes this column as Text but not Number. Now, I must change the data type from Text to Whole Number. Here is what I did:
Then the whole column becomes Error (screenshot below is example of one column, it will be similar when i apply the same for the other columns).
I read some questions in the platform but still cannot solve this problem. Thank you so much for answering.
Best regards,
Bonjour,
J'ai rencontré le même souci, avez-vous trouvé la solution, SVP?
Hi @amitchandak , I found out that the data containing numbers always have "comma" between numbers, therefore, it fails to convert to Whole number.
I saw that there is a function to replace value "," to nothing but I wonder if i can apply this for all columns containing number so I dont have to do it one by one.
Thank you
Hi @quyenduong
Thanks for reaching out to us.
Usually a number column is automatically recognized as a number column, unless the number contains some spaces, then the column will be recognized as text type. Could you share a sample file for us to check? thanks
