Bug in visual after update

Hi, since the last update of power bi there are some kind of weird bugs. First the "Copy Table" bug which was fixed but now I have a new problema with table visual wich takes columns from a table but it changes mi data. 

 

This is my Table Visual data:

 

 

This is my data Table:


 

 

The firts two are diffrent from my data and I don't know why. I'm not doing any calculation over the column, I just only drag it to the visual. I built in a clean new power bi desktop file only the table I using and the problem is the same.

    Hi, ArquimedesP 

    First of all, thank you very much for your feedback.

    Your solution is great Ashish_Mathur . After my testing, it does show the wrong numeric value in the visual, as shown in the following image:

    The reason for this discrepancy is that the data is outside the safe numeric size of the Power BI visual:

    Data types in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    The largest number Power BI visuals can safely express is 9,007,199,254,740,991 (2^53-1)

    9007199254740991 - 9816587000100023 = -809387746359032

    You can change this column to text type to get the correct display or change the format to the scientific type as shown in the image below:

     

    I'm testing in scientific format to see if it's equal to the original value:

    The February 2024 and March 2024 versions were used for the above tests.

  • Hi,

    In the Query Editor, change the data type of that column to text.  Does the problem get resolved now?
