Force decimal instead of integer
Store Coverage = 10/3 should be a decimal number already.
In your screenshot, underneath "Decimal Number", Decimal Places is set to zero. Increasing that should increase the number of decimal places displayed for that measure.
In general, when calculating INTEGER / INTEGER, Power BI should convert both numerator and denominator to REAL before performing the calculation (according to this page).
DataType isn't enabled as an option, only Format (which I just changed to "Decimal Number" and it had no effect). I see the DataType option on calculated columns, but not on measures.
To simplify the problem, I created a measure as this:
Store Coverage = 10/3
Which displays value 3 on my table and card, even though I've selected "Decimal Number" as the format in the ribbon above.
Screenshot is attached for reference-- any ideas? =)

Thanks guys!! That did the trick.
Hi,
The option to increase decimal number for POWER BI Desktop isn't available.
Any other tips of how to increase decimal numbers?
I need numbers to appear as 3 decimal. Example: 0,121
In the data model, is the Data Type "Decimal Number"? Also, is the Format set to "Decimal Number"?
Hi,
There is no option to add decimal... I need 3 but appears only two.
Know when you pass the mouse in the chart and the values appears? In this box, always appears with only 2 decimal, and I need 3...
I'm trying to add my print screen here but it's not possible...
Thank you!
