Summing Values

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to sum my values by issuers so I converted the value's data type to Int16. However, when I do that the numbers change and I am unsure why. Am I using the wrong data type? 

 

Thanks for the help!

@AshleyDaniel 
you data has thousand comma (,), need to remove that first.

I'm looking at this on my phone. It looks like there are commas in your numbers.  That means that these are strings.  

use a multi-field formula where you can convert them to numbers as:

 

tonumber(replacechar([_current field_],",",''))

 

 please excuse any syntax issues with my iPhone expression. 

cheers,
