I recently learned that there is function "ToString" allows us to add the Thousand Seperator.

So we can do something like this.

Just to be clear, we can not have 2 different Alteryx Data types in one single field.

If you want to export them and have each cell with different data types, @gawa has done something here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Converting-Numbers-In-Alphanum...

 

You can first use @Qiu 's method to standardize your workflow then when you output, you can apply what Gawa has done accordingly.
