Solved! Go to Solution.
Table.TransformColumnTypes(Table6_Table,{{"Numbers", type any}})
Instead of "type text" as per above syntax use "type any" then problem should be solved

When PowerBI reads a source, it attempts to match data to a type automatically.
You could disable it in File>OPTIONS>Data Load, and uncheck "Automatically detect column types and headers for unstructured sources".
also, you could change the datatype in edit queries.

Ok.After stopping the auto-detection which data type should i select for that column. Should I go with "Text" data. Ig that is the case then what about the numeric data? will it be auttomatically converted into text data type
When PowerBI reads a source, it attempts to match data to a type. It is often wrong. Do you see an entry like
Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Source", {"Column", Int64.Type})
Change Int64.Type to
type text
Table.TransformColumnTypes(Table6_Table,{{"Numbers", type any}})
Instead of "type text" as per above syntax use "type any" then problem should be solved
