Hi @manishbcg,

With Power BI, you can connect to data from many different sources. And Power BI support many different dat type. When you load data into Power BI Desktop, it will attempt to convert the data type of the source column into a data type that better supports more efficient storage, calculations, and data visualization. Please refer to the link below to see the details.
