I have a workflow that pulls an Excel attachment from an email in Gmail and saves it into Google Drive as a Google Sheet.  One column of my data is invoice numbers, but it’s stored as text in the original file.  I have to have this as a number, so I’m having to go into the file and format that column to number.  

Is there a way for Zapier to automate this task?

It’s current formatted as automatic and I have to manually change it to the green highlight.

If possible, that would likely involve using the GSheets API: https://developers.google.com/workspace/sheets/api/guides/concepts
