Dynamically change data type

I have a report that I input into Alteryx, however my data columns show up as Vstring and I want to change them dynamically to Double each time I upload this report monthly.

Each data column starts with "EAC", then has the period and year listed in the header, ie, EAC 10.2023

 

Thanks
