TL : DR  Your field has been selected to summarize by count, you need to change that to "Don't Summarize"

Have a look at the name of the column in your visual.  You will notice it is "Count of".  This means your visual is attempting an aggregation of your field.  There are 2 aspects of this to consider:

When you select your field in the "Field" window on the far right, you can select in the Ribbon the Modelling area.  In here you can set the default summarization method.  For text, this is usually set to "Count".  You are able to select "Don't Summarize" if you want it to display the values themselves.

Similar to the first point, you can set the summarization on a visual by visual basis.  On the visualization pane, if you have your visual selected, you can see the fields you have added to your visual.  Each field has a drop arrow presenting a menu.  Inside this menu is a check mark indicating what the current selected summarization is.

I selected "Don't Summarize", but still no response.

This will be because you have only updated the 'default' summarization technique.  Since you have already created the visual, it will assume you wish it to be the way you have already set it up.  You can either remove the field from the visual and re-add it, or click the fields drop arrow from inside the visual settings.

The drop arrow do not have "dont summarize" this selection. But the color have it. So strange...sizecolor

I guess I got your issue.

Can you change the default summarization to sum and re-add Column10 under the size in the visual?

It cannot select "Sum" in  default summarization

You can only Sum something that is saved as a number.  If it has a data type of text, you can't sum it.  A computer can't tell you what "Cat" + "Dog" equals.  In the same vain, it doesn't know that "1" is the same as 1.  So if you have a column that is entirely numbers, you'll need to make sure you have set it to the correct data type in either the modelling area or as part of your import query.
