format the number

Hello, everyone
How can I format the number 1.00054E+16 to 1.00054 in Power Query or with a DAX function.
Thanks

      That's weird. Does the ROUND function work?

       

       

      or....

      VALUE(FORMAT())?

      Tito PaulDBrown Um, at the risk of pointing out the obvious, 1.00054E+16 is in no way, shape or how equivalent to 1.00054. Like, at all. If you want to get 1.00054 from 1.00054E+16 you are going to need to divide by like 1E+16, right?

        OMG!b you are soo right! LOL!More fool me for assuming the "," was the decimal delimiter (which is so in my whereabouts...). Apologies Tito
