Hi there,

 

When I import a google shared spreadsheet a numeric column is changed to text. To query with other databases the field type needs to remain numeric.  Do you know how you can change a field type of a google shared spreadsheet?

    Hi,

     

    Did your format the Columns as a number in google sheets?

    Do you have any value in the column (Other than the header) that is not numeric?

     

    I have several googlesheet imports and the column types are correct.

    Yes the columns are formatted correctly in googlesheets.  I even tried creating new tabs and the format stayed as text.

    Did you try and recreate the dataset in DOMO?

    In the Datacenter/datasets you have a delete option on the dataset.

    Does this help?
