I clicked Import Data from Dataverse and Uploading an Excel file from OneDrive.

Looking at the picture, the data type of the Dept column is text. I want to change it to choice. However, if you change it to choice, an error occurs. Is there another name?
Seeing that the data type of auto number is named Int64.Type, it seems that there is another name. Please let me know

Hi,

Are you wanting to change the type in the Table, or in the Mapping type?

Cheers

Hi @Bingqiling,

Unfortunately you won't be able to change the column type from text to a choice. You'll need to create a new choice column and map/move any existing data to the new column.
