any to text data type conversion producing unexpected values

Try rounding the values first as mentioned on previous message.
Round the values first to 2 decimal places then convert the field to text... then check whether formulas now work
Rounding to 2 decimal places before doing any data type conversion worked. I don't understand why it worked, though. I also had to do an additional Text.PadEnd step to slap on a zero at the end. So, a lot of steps before the extraction and concatenation simply because there seems to be something wrong in the Excel file..

I couldnt replicate the error to be honest.
It seems like there is something with the source data (excel). Maybe you imported the data from a txt file and during import the data were corrupted?? of there may be some weird formatting of the values
