Modify an Excel column data type

Hi, First post here.

 

I plan on using Power Automate to update a Power BI dataset when a SharePoint file is updated. The only issue I have is that the SharePoint excel file I will be working with needs to be edited before the refreshing of the dataset. A single column in the excel sheet needs to be changed from 'General' to 'Text'.

 

Is there a way to automate this and remove the manual process?

 

Thanks a lot
