@admin11 , Right click on table name and open advance editor and change the data type of amount like

{"Amount", Currency.Type}

full code

let
    Source = Csv.Document(File.Contents("C:\Users\Amit.Chandak\Downloads\CRM_TS_10.csv"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=15, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}, {"Column6", type text}, {"Column7", type text}, {"Column8", type text}, {"Column9", type text}, {"Column10", type text}, {"Column11", type text}, {"Column12", type text}, {"Column13", type text}, {"Column14", type text}, {"Column15", type text}}),
    #"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Changed Type",1),
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Removed Top Rows", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"POTENTIALID", type text}, {"Closing Date", type date}, {"Deal Name", type text}, {"Stage", type text}, {"Company Name", type text}, {"Full Name", type text}, {"Amount", Currency.Type}, {"Deal Owner", type text}, {"Main Segment", type text}, {"Sub Segment", type text}, {"Email", type text}, {"Mobile", type text}, {"Department", type text}, {"Title", type text}, {"SBU", type text}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"

@admin11 , I think the data type change needs to happen after the promoted header. In your case it is before
