Error changing data type obtained from excel

Good.

I have an Excel with four records and one of the columns is in currency format, Power Query detects it as text format, when I try to transform it to integer with decimal or currency it gives me error, how can I solve it or what fails?, I put the captures.

Original Excel in currency format

  • or you can remove the euro symbol in power Query and then change the data type.

      Good, I have tried to remove formats or put it in a thousand ways and it always gave me error, I had to create a new clean column and put the data, so it works for me.

      Thank you.
