    Hi david_flu ,

     

    The number here is in scientific notation, and while it does look like text, it is still essentially a number. If you want to show the data as it is, you can do so in Power Query by simply setting the columns to "Decimal". Close and Apply loads the data into Power BI Desktop, then in Power BI Desktop click on the column and set the Format to Normal.

    Best Regards,
