Hi @Marianne,

 

Propably you have some characters in your data. Maybe you got , instead of . as a decimal place?


If you can share a screenshot of one line of data that should be sufficient to identify where the issue is.

Hi @Marianne 

 

Based on the screenshot you're setting the Net Invoice Qty field to be a numeric field. But because there are parenthesis in some of the numbers alteryx doesn't recognize them as numbers (i.e. it doesn't know (4) is -4). 

 

There are a few good options in this thread to clean the data up:
