Power apps float error when setting a variable to column that is an integer

I have a column that is set as an integer.

In my flow I try to set a variable, also set as an integer, to the column value. I keep throwing an error "BadRequest. The variable 'TotalHoursVar' of type 'integer' cannot be inialized or updated with a value of type 'Float'. The variable 'TotalHoursVar' only supports values of types 'Integer'."

I tried using compose on the column first (as shown below) and setting the variable to the compose output but I get the same error with or without the compose step.

Why is the flow seeing an integer column as a float?

It seems that you will need to use the int() function :
