Error when changing text to number
- 2 years ago
replace .0 with blank for all columns then try to convert into nbumbers .
you need to select a column then you can find replace under the transform section.
this should work .
If my answer helped sort things out for you, i would appreciate a thumbs up 👍 and mark it as the solution ✅

Thank you for lookign at this 🙂
Sure, I uploaded a file here. But its really just a powerBI file with the dataset linked. I have uninstalled and redid everything several times now but I have the same issue.
Looking at your file I see that it is not adding the .0 decimal to the numbers as it is in my file. Im pretty sure that is the problem here.- Daniel291952 years agoCommunity Champion
