Although the preferable way is to handle this before uploading data to Visual Analytics, one can also handle this in VA directly. The correct Operator is Parse.
And here you can see how your new variable is truly a number. I left decimals there so it's easier to see the difference from Text.
Sometimes the number is part of string with alphabets included such as A123 or Metal123. In these cases you can first apply Substring Operator and then utilize Parse. I hope this helps.
Best regards,
