I have an excel file which I use as data source in PowerBI. When I examine it n Excel I see the following:
| 9896700000111100432411004310 |
| 9896700000111100432411004311 |
| 9896700000111100432411004312 |
| 9896700000111100432411004313 |
When I import this in PowerBi, I shows up as:
| 9896700000111100432411004310 |
| 9896700000111100432411004310 |
| 9896700000111100432411004310 |
| 9896700000111100432411004310 |
All data is at all times fomated as TEXT. I do not want to use these as numbers. Why is PowerBi rounding this down? And how can I fix this?
Hi
It seems when imported, the data duplicated and changed to text type automatically, right?
Though I can't reproduce your problem, could you share me an excel file or a pbix file including some data as shown?
Best Regards
Maggie
