Dual Field Dimension is Displaying the NUMBER instead of TEXT

I have a dual field mapping that a text field into a dual text/number field.

When I add the resulting dual field to a straight table as a dimension, it is showing the number instead of the text.

How do I make it display the text?

You have added it as a measure or dimension? Looks like as a measure... can you try to add it as a dimension instead?

Thanks.  It is a Dimension; not a Measure.

I actually got it to work; I had a mistake in the join portion of my ApplyMap in the script.  But, I am still curious why it was displaying the number.
