Hi @tex628 ,

 

In your locale, for a general value, comma works as thousand delimiter. When you changed data type to text, it used dot as text delimiter.

@v-yulgu-msftThank you for the help! I did not know that you had to assign locale in dataflows aswell. It appears that it defaulted to US locale which was the issue.
