Do not use the Number field since it was specifically for numbers only.
Use the Short Text Entry instead

Thanks for your response! Unfortunately the field was already created and I don't want to delete it because it matches up with previous responses in my reports.
Is there any way to change it from a "Number" field to a "Short Entry" field, without deleting it and creating a new one?
Thanks!!

It is not currently possible to change one type of fields to another. If you need a field of a different type, the only way to include it would be to add in the new field.

Very welcome! If the field was a short text entry field, the validations could be set differently. Number fields unfortunately are fixed validation to numbers only.
