Beastmodes getting turned to Text

Hi,

So I have been having this problem lately, all of the inputs of my beastmode formula are numbers, but it keeps classifying the beastmode output as Text. All of my columns are classified as floating decimals, there is no text in it, all the nulls are classified as zeros, yet it still keeps it as text even though the numbers show on the table.


I'm not really sure what is wrong. It usually isn't too big of a problem since it still shows 2 decimals, but on some of my low percentages they just show as 0

    Do you have your BeastMode code you could post? (Anonymize the field names if necessary)

    Yes I will give a few simple examples. I tried messing around with the parenthesis to put it around certain words, wrapped all of it in a sum formula. Nothing helped.


    Text: (`Unique Clicks`) / (`Total Contacts`-`Total Bounces`)

    Number: `Unique Opens` / (`Total Contacts` - `Total Bounces`)

    Text: `Total Bounces` / `Total Contacts`

    Number (`Total Contacts` - `Total Bounces`)

    Are all the fields metrics / numerical fields or are some dimensions / strings?


    You could try and multiply each value by 1 to force it to become a number:

    (`Total Bounces` * 1) / (`Total Contacts` * 1)
