    Hi Arial36 

    I think your data type in Power Query is Decimal number as well.

    So your card visual will show scientific notation value as underlying data if you set your column Format as Decimal number as below in column tool.

    You can try Currency in Format.

Hi Arial36 !

Please set the data type of these numbers to be Decimal, Format as Decimal number & set the number of decimal places to be shown as per your requirement 5/6.

 

Precision 1Precision 2

Now in your Card visual go to Data Label property & set Display units as [None]. You can also set value decimal places from auto to any number which suits your requirement.

 

Regards,

Hasham

    Hi HashamNiaz  ! Thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately that is the first thing I had done and it does not work. I do not know why the truth. In the tables the number looks good, but when they exceed the 4 zeros after the comma they are automatically displayed in scientific notation.
