Format of column information

Hello,

In the excel file, the column content has complete information, but when importing it into the power query, there is a change in the format.

Example: in excel it appears 43230508682052000105651050000565451802220651 and in power query 4.3230508682052E+43

 

I ask for help on how to solve the power query.

 

Grateful.

  • Hi,

     In Power Query, the default behavior is to display large numbers in scientific notation (such as 4.3230508682052E+43) when they exceed a certain threshold. To solve this:

     

    #"Modified Step" = Text.From(Number.ToText(43230508682052000105651050000565451802220651, "G"))

     

    By applying this modification, the number should be displayed as the original format (43230508682052000105651050000565451802220651) in Power Query.
