@AdiStanescu - can you use a class function inside the R tool and confirm variable1's data type?

Can you try using the following R code and see if it gives your the result you are looking for?

data<-read.Alteryx("#1",mode="data.frame")
variable1 <- (data$d1_1)

output<- data.frame(pnorm(variable1))

colnames(output)<-c("N1")

write.Alteryx(output,1)

Try using this code on your dataset. Hopefully it works.

#read data into R tool
data<-read.Alteryx("#1",mode="data.frame")

#calculate pnorm for the column of your choice
variable1 <- data.frame(pnorm(data$d1_1))

#rename the column
colnames(variable1)<-c("N1")

#combine the new pnorm column back to original dataframe
output<- cbind(data,variable1)

#output data back into Alteryx
write.Alteryx(output,1)
