Power BI doesn't use decimals
- 10 years ago
Never mind,
In the edit query I found that in the "applied steps" window i made 2 (historic) alterations for the data, first I made it a "whole numer" then a couple steps later a "decimal"....deleted the first step and the data came through ok.Solved, -1 kudo for meself!
thanx for the input though!
Maybe the Data Type of the column needs to be Decimal Number. I created a new column that adds 2.5 and 3.6 and it shows 6.1. Maybe check your formatting as well?

There seems to be a problem with the upload:
this is mu excel, amount has almost 4 decimals:
tExcel
when uploaded, Power BI just "trims" the amount, and doesn't round it ?

Sorry, it does round it, but the problem is that at a certain point the amounts in the excel are, for example:
0.02
Power BI rounds that to zero.
I have around 60 K-rows with amount €0.02 wich is 1.2 k€, for my purpose reporting thats a material difference :-)
