Scientific Notation Issue
I have a matrix in which I want to display all values as whole numbers. The value field is a measure I need the source data to still have the decimal place so that aggregations total correctly.
In the modeling tab, I have the measure that I'm using as Data Type: Decimal Number, Format: Decimal Number, with 2 decimal places. When I format the visual, I set Value Decimal Places:0.
In the matrix, values in which abs(0)>0.01, are display correctly as whole numbers. Values very close to zero but not quite equal to zero (e.g. 0,00000123), show in scientific notation.
How can I get near zero values to display as zero?
I have tried expanding on the measure with an if statement to change near zero values to zero, leaving all other values the same. This works, but when I do this it prevents me from being able to export the visual to an .xls or .csv file.

- Thanks for describing your issue this way. It would help a lot if you have a test file available, possibly with the measure you mention. That would make it a lot easier for us to troubleshoot and help you.
Hi,
Please share your test file with me or give some screenshot here if convenient for me to help you further.
And remember to remove any sensitive data.
Expect your reply.

I've run into the same thing. I think it's a bug.
My workaround is to wrap the measure with ROUND(measure_calc, 0).
