Hi Rangapbi,

 

Issue is in the excel. Check the format of the column.

I have tested this scenario in my local machine, i have got the values in Power BI as it is in excel.

 

Thanks !!

Hi Pratheek,

 

Format is fine,once we create a report with the data it shows values correctly but when we update the sheet it is not reflecting.

    Make sure that you have an explicit query step that sets the data type to decimal. Format in the report is not enough. Even if the column looks like a decimal in the query editor, that is not enough. You need to put in a step that actually sets the column's data type to decimal. This has to be done in the query editor.

      Thank you so much! Was messing around with it for 30 minutes before I came across your response.
