I have a Math column that today started showing as Time. Not sure why/what happened.

Are any of your replacements traceable back to a date/time column?  
There was a recent change made where if you subtract one date from another, the result is a duration.  
If you need the result as an integer, then the formula needs to be wrapped in a `round()` or `trunc()` function.

Indeed, I think that is what happened. Thank you.
