Hi @MalvikaBhasin ,
The error message shows the type of Profit column is not Number, Please add a step of changing Profit column to Number type before using Sum of Group By step.
Please select one number type you want. I suggest you try whole number firstly.
Best regards,

Hi @MalvikaBhasin ,
The Sum of GroupBy just supports number, your ‘Order ID’ column is text type. Could you please show more details about your requirements about the first GroupBy step?
If you want to show count of table in ‘CountNew’ column, I suggest you use Count Rows in Operation as follows.
