Decimal number is not reading properly

Hi Alteryx users)

 

I am new in Alteryx, currently reading data from the file 

 

So What I have faced for now, my data is not reading correctly.

I am writing these data for AWS Athena, as u can see from the screen shot it cannot read numbers. The first screen from Athena, second one from Alteryx. I set fixed decimal as a datatype with maximum size, but it still the same

Hey @Karlygash,

How are you reading the data into Alteryx? If its a file output can you give an example file?

Thanks,

Ira

@Karlygash Strange when I import it into Alteryx the file is the same as your Athena data:
