Decimal Type Column behaving like text?

Hi there, 

I am not able to place the field "Horas" (Hours" From table "Ausências" in the values area of the matrix visual - the data type is set as decimal. If I create a measure (sum Horas) works. I tried to summarize the field as "sum", but still does not work. I can solve this with a measure but would like to understand what is going on.Picture1.png

Very interesting problem. It is possible that you share this table from the PBI?

Hi mate, thank you for your reply. I cant sorry. But I copied the query to a new PBIX file and there it works. Perhaps something in the advanced options...

Do you reopen the file, refresh all data...only a idea?
