Hi Mohan,
What I can think of is that the DataType for that field coming from the DataSource may not be numeric (integer, decimal, etc...) and that is why it is being treated as string. In addition to that, you may try defining the DataFormString property for row field and make it number. Have you tried that one?
Kind regards,
