Data frame error

Hello everyone. This is my first post, and I'm new to power bi. 

While I was working on my report, there is a really large interger"13308700010099" and it shows as sentific notation in table 1. I want to do a full outer merge with table 2 on this column. However, full outer merge doesn't work. Power BI keep showing me 
DataFormat.Error: We couldn't convert to Number.
Details:
1248563. LC

I don't know why this happened. I can do left outer merger but not full outer.

Please help me. 

Thanks

    Anonymous what is the type of this column in PQ, maybe change it to decimal instead of the whole number.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    From the error message, it looks like the 1248563. LC value could not be converted to a numeric value. So please check if your columns contain the "1248563.LC",  or contain the row that reported an error, like this:

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
    Best Regards,
