Numbers showing as text.

larryhawkins

I have a column of numbers that is the primary column. The numbers are 11 digits. SmartSheet is showing them as text. I'm populating this sheet VIA API. I can't sort this column correctly. How do I format them as numbers? All the other columns with numbers are correct. Example: 17641736029.

Use a helper column to wrap them in the VALUE() function.

=VALUE([Why are these numbers text]@row)

Then use your helper column for all your sorts/filtering/maths needs.
