DataFormat.Error: We couldn't convert to Number

Using Power Query, I'm trying to change the type of a column that has values such as this into decimal.

But I get the following error:

DataFormat.Error: We couldn't convert to Number.

This is when in my Advanced Options, the decimal separator seems to be . which is the one used in the column.

Try adding an index, then add a custom column with formula

=Number.From([Amount])

Filter that for errors and that will find you your problem data row
