Prepare Data - "Convert to number" without duplicating column

$

Hey everyone,

 

I'm new to Lumira.

 

I have an Excel file containing several columns with numeric data. The number format for these columns in Excel is set to "number" as well.

 

However, when I import the data into Lumira, the program thinks the data is text rather than numbers.

 

When I try to mark a column and click "convert to number", it doesn't change the format of the column in question but rather duplicates the column. E.g. it would produce a column called "Sales (2)" which is in a number format, next to the original "Sales" column in the text format.

 

When I try to delete the original "Sales" column and just keep "Sales (2)" it doesn't work. As soon as I delete the original column, the duplicate column in deleted as well.

 

Can anybody help? I just want my columns to be in "123" instead of "ABC" format. And not have every column duplicated and end up with 20+ columns.

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

 

Alex
