Most likely at least one of your fields was not convered to integer successfully.

Do you observe any warning massage from the results panel of Alteryx?

And please check the result panel by clicking the output anchor of Select tool to see if all data is as you intended to be?

Hi @videet ,

 

can you send us a data sample? 


Usually, the reason is that there are some unnecessary characters. Spaces, dots, commas and are preventing Alteryx from doing successfully conversion.

First of all, most of your data is not Integer in nature.

Try to change to Double data type and increase the data size.

Then we can see from there.
