hi @yc151 

Did you mean to attach an output file? Is it an excel output file or other format?

Would be best if you can attach the workflow (.YXZP) package.

Dawn.

hi, Dawn

Please see below pics from my output files, the -13M is not sum up when I select those two cells due to "Number store as text" message  indicated by excel. the 13M is the only cell have this issue while others can sum up just fine. I may not be able to upload the workflow cuz I used real company data.  I used table, render tool, etc. Do you know how to solve this? Thank you.

Are you updating an existing sheet preserving the formatting? If so, please erase the formatting and try again. Another way to test this would be outputting to a new file and checking if the issue persists. Also, please make sure that you have a numeric field type on that column in Alteryx, such as double.
