Hi, I have been trying to load the Mongo Atlas data in the Power BI. I am stuck at a point where the fields with type decimal128 throw an error in Power BI. It says "DataSource.Error: The ODBC driver returned a decimal value for column 'AdditionalShippingCharge' that we couldn't understand or is out of range".
I have used the changed type but no luck
= Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"AdditionalShippingCharge", each Number.Round(_, 4), Decimal.Type}})
I am using
Power BI Desktop
Mongo Atlas ODBC Connector ( beta )
Mongo BI Connector
Is there any way I can parse the values properly?
Can you recast them at the source?
Can you please explain how to recast at the source
I need to keep decimal128 at the db. I want a way around with decimal128 in power. I tried to transform column in power bi query. but still it says the same error
Then you need to find a different BI tool that can handle these larger numbers.
If this is important to you please consider voting for an existing idea or raising a new one at https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/?forum=2d80fd4a-16cb-4189-896b-e0dac5e08b41
I think Power BI is maxing out at 64bit values.
