google data studio converting silently data types?

Question

I am consuming some external data from postgres (using google data studio):

The column is 'costperhour', why the data type appears as 'hour'? I think is a mistake...

i.e.

could it be that it just converted automatically 15, 10, 12, 8 and 10 to those values?

Answer 1

At the Data Source, it can be achieved by changing the Type of the costperhour field to the required Type, for example:

From:

Date > Hour

To:

Currency > USD - US Dollar ($)
