DataFormat.Error. How do I convert a small decimal number to numeric type?

[Syndicate_Admin]

I'm trying to transform the data 0.08.00 to numeric type but I get the formatting error and I can't convert it. Is there any other format that allows me to add this number? It's the only number I've gotten a problem with and it's the smallest in the whole column. I sense that the problem occurs because there is a zero in front of the comma but I do not know how it can be solved.

Thank you

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

You can try to replace the value with 0.08 in Power Query, and then convert the data type of this column.

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.

Create a Column with Add column from example, and type only number 8.00 in front of such number and other numbers type as it is in the original column. you will get required result
