Hi. I've created a custom column and when I check again on power BI, it turns out all the calculations are in text values. Can anyone point out where did it go wrong? Or where can I edit the value type?
I tried to change the data type here but it won't work.
Solved! Go to Solution.

If you are 100% sure that this column doesnt include any text then you can go to Power Query editor --> Right click on Column Heading --> Change Type
If text exists then make sure you replace text with a numeric value e.g. Zero
Follow same process above and istead of change Type select replace values
