Power bI mongo atlas decimal128 value not parsing

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.

I think Power BI is maxing out at 64bit values.
