Failed to convert value '(137.790)' from type string to type floating point

Any idea how to fix this error? It seems that my columns are a floating point, so not sure what the fix needs to be.

You could use string functions to remove unwanted characters with formulas like
CAST(REPLACE(REPLACE(`YourColumn`, '(', ''), ')', '') AS DECIMAL)

@kim_barragan0126 It looks like the parenthesis around the value are preventing it from converting to a floating decimal. You will have to remove those characters before converting the datatype using a formula. Do you know if the parenthesis represent a negative number, like in an accounting format?

Yes, it represents a negative number. Would the below fix this in the magic etl?
Using a string operation.
