Need decimal values upto 14 digits

Hello All

 

I have two columns A and B. When I divide A and B I should get C which should be having atleast 12 digits after decimal point. For Example If I divide 9/7 the result should be 1.2857142857142 but Power BI somehow rounds it off to 7 places. 

The Reason I need is, I am trying to automate a Excel workflow which has lot of calculations. If I calculate with 7 digits after decimal point my end result is off by minimum of 100-2000 depending on the number of digits. I tried rounding off, changed typeetc nothing worked.

Any help to set the digits after decimal upto 14 would be a nice help.
Note: I cant do DAX because the resulatant column will be used in Subsequent columns.

    Hi Akash_003 ,

     

    First use the custom column to divide columns A and B to get the Custom column change it to Decimal Number, save it to Desktop, change the Custom column Formatting to 14 decimals, and then enter Power Query and you're done. To verify, I multiplied the custom column. Even though the display is omitted, the actual value is correct (lower left data).

     

    Hope it helps!

    Hi Akash_003 ,

     

    It is possible to keep 14 decimals, where both columns A and B are of Decimal number type, you can check the result as follows:

      Ah, thats what I mentioned. I cannot do this in DAX. Need to be done inside. The image is result of division between two columns done in Power Query. I need this number to have 14 decimal places.
