Hi,
I have created a Data Connection to a textfile. Just a plain table. However, some columns with numbers are interpreted as text after import. When I enter a cell value interpreted as text and press enter in formula bar, the value will be interpreted as number at once. But it's impossible to go through the entire table. If I Refresh my Data Connection, everything will be lost again.
Is there a way to fix this?

You could use PowerQuery to connect to the data, then make sure that the query fixes the column settings before loading.
