Cannot change column type
kareemshamel Is this the custom column you created in list?
You can find the indexed columns on list settings page under Columns section with heading: Indexed columns.
Remove indexing on the number column & then try changing the column type.

kareemshamel When are you getting this error? While deleting indexed column or changing the column type?
Did you try my suggestion above to delete indexed column before changing column type?

ganeshsanap Hi, i have the exact same problem in my list. I am unable to change the column type and if i try to delete the index the task never gets completed and remains stuck with the message "Wait It should not take long".
