When an effort is made to convert a character string into a number and the string cannot be turned into a number, an ORA-01722 error occurs.

Without looking at your table design, it appears like you're attempting to convert the numeric sequence at the end of your values list to a number, and the spaces delimiting it are causing this problem. However, depending on the information you've provided, it might occur on any field (other than the first one).

One way to solve it can be by removing non-numeric characters then cast it as a number.

cast(regexp_replace('0419 853 694', '[^0-9]+', '') as number)
