Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can change the data type in power bi desktop.

 

In power bi desktop, select the field then go in to column tools to change the number of decimal places. Make sure Date type and format are both decimal number.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

In Power BI, click on your column Estimate Sales Value of Marketing. On th top ribbon, you will see all the data formatting options for this column along with the number of decimal places. Check how many decimal places are set there and modify accordingly.

 

Thanks,
