Why is my data rounded up in report view but is correct in my query?

Hello All.

 

In my query I have some data that looks like this:

Commissions
23.45
33.56
67.89

As you can see, it correctly shows the decimal points.

 

However, in my report view, for the same column, it seems to have rounded up to a whole number, so I get:

Commissions
24
34
68

How can I show the correct values above, with the decimal places, in report view, like it is in the query?

Many thanks for your time.

Hi @ianwuk,

 

Please select the [Commissions] column, then, choose the Decimal Number option under data type format.

By the way, what is your desktop version? If possible, could you please share your .pbix file so that I can check for you?

That resolved my issue.  I was in Direct Query Mode.

look for the data type change in formatting tabScreenshot_13.png

Hello.

 

The data formatting tab is greyed out in report view, so I cannot change anything.  Is there another way?
