"Looping" through objects

JavaScript

Can this code be refactored? It looks really ugly to me, but working with objects - as opposed to arrays - always results in ugly code, at least for me. Ideas welcome - thanks!

Output required:
I need each of the properties of each of the objects (i.e. rows from data above) to be converted into numbers. All except the first property which I need to remain a text value.

d3.csv("data/Book2.csv").then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);

  
  data.forEach(function(d) {
    //Update all values to be numbers instead of string
    for (let property in d) {
      let allowableKeys =
        d[property] !== "Number of Agents" &&
        d[property] !== "Number of Active BB Agents" &&
        d[property] !== "Number of Accounts" &&
        d[property] !== "Active Accounts" &&
        d[property] !== "Deposits as of date (Rs. in millions )" &&
        d[property] !== "Number of transactions during the quarter" &&
        d[property] !==
          "Value of transactions during the quarter(Rs. in millions)" &&
        d[property] !== "Average Size of transaction (in Rupees)" &&
        d[property] !== "Average number of transaction per day";

      if (d.hasOwnProperty(property) && allowableKeys) {
        d[property] = parseFloat(d[property].replace(/,/g, ""));
      }
    }

    dataNumAgent = data.filter(d => d.Indicator === "Number of Agents");
    dataNumActAgent = data.filter(
      d => d.Indicator === "Number of Active BB Agents"
    );
  });

  //x-scale:
  // let xScale = d3.scaleTime.domain().range();
});

Below is console.log(data) and console.log(JSON.stringify(data)):

It’s highly unnecessary to have that huge allowableKeys thing in your code. You only need to check against ‘Indicator’ as a property name:

  if (columnName !== "Indicator") {
    /* Do stuff */
  }
}

This is what I ended up with (took @luishendrix92 advice). Am I over-simplifying by using , "property !== "Indicator"?

    for (let property in d) {
      if (d.hasOwnProperty(property) && property !== "Indicator") {
        d[property] = parseFloat(d[property].replace(/,/g, ""));
      }
    }
