If you click on one of the "Error" values it will show you the full error message. That should give you more information on what is going wrong (maybe there are trailing spaces or something like that interfering with the type conversion). If not post the error message back to this thread.

Maybe you have some trailing whitespace. Try trimming the column before changing it's type
