Hi!
I’d suggest you to make the fix in Excel. Format the data accordingly and then upload it in Tableau.
Best,
Ned

Hi Ned,
I checked the file on excel, there it has no errors nor those commas. I still replaced them all and yet while importing/opening the data in Tableau, the data set still shows those commas and errors while applying the Formula code. I’m new to this hope you don’t feel annoyed if I’m doing any silly mistakes.

Regards.
