This is the known issue that is by design because numbers use floating point, certain values can't be represented with full precision in table / matrix visual, with my test, a cell with over 16 digits will be rounded up.

Also there is also limitation on the length of the digits in the data table. Please refer the to Number Types section.

@IanCockcroft , I doubt the whole number as datatype is used. Can change it to decimal and check if you have not tried that. I do face an issue with 15 digits whole numbers. That was key, I was able to take it as a string.
