Power BI changing values when importing Excel sheet

When I pull an Excel spreadsheet with data like this into Power BI

it looks the same in the Power BI Navigator window (note the sales values columns) but when I load it looks like this in the Table view

Note the sales values again.

 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. [email protected]
