Hi!
I've noticed that when importing a table (table formatted) from excel, the numbers are imported as text. Even when changing the data format in the query editor to number, they are managed as text (no calculations)
If I remove the table formatting from excel and import again, everything works. Does this make any sense?
Hi @setis,
Based on my test, it could work on my side, could you have formatted the number to text in excel?

Hi @v-danhe-msft, Thanks for reaching out. It's weird but it is not. It's formatted as number.
Hi @setis,
Could you please share your excel file and your pbix file to have a test if possible?
Regards,
Daniel He
