Data type won't change from Test to Number?

Hi, 

I have a report see below, where in one of the columns "D" I am unable to change Data Type to Whole Number, alonng with Format to Whole Number and Summarization to Sum. 

The one difference I noticed is the numbers are displayed on the left hand side of the column unl;ike the rest whicj are to the right.

Any ideas?

Hi @trevorG1 

 

It's still formated as Text or as Any.

 

Go back to Query Editor and convert to Number there and load back in

 

Thanks

Joe
