Events not appearing in analytics reports

Hi community people, I am struggling with an issue related to events, I have a rule triggered by a direct call that sets, amongst other things, two events in the analytics hit. These particlar events will not populate the report suite, meaning the hit is there when checking in experience cloud debugger, like this 

but looking at the related event in report and analytics will show no data.

The particular events are set as "numeric" and not "counter", and before I jump on changing them, can someone please clarify the difference between a numeric and counter event type and confirm if changing the event type might just fix this issue?
