Hi @Analitika ,

What's the data type of the field which used in X axis of bar chart? Please try to update its data type as Decimal number with the proper decimal places...

In addition, you can refer the following links to get it.

Power Query is for cleaning and preparing your data so what you see isn't necessarily how it will look when it's in a report/visual.

In Power Query just set the column to Decimal.  Close and Appy to load the data into Power BI Desktop, then in Power BI Desktop click on the column and set the Format to general as shown in my image.

If you look at the numbers in a table they should not be in scientific format now.


Remove Scientific notation in measure


After loading data into desktop, please change the data type to Decimal, and set decimal places to 11 or above if you want to display the whole value.

If you only want to round the value as a integer, set decimal place to 0.

If the above one can't help you, please provide some raw data in your table (exclude sensitive data) with Text format, your visual Fields settings and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:
