How to change data type to deicmal when using power query write data to dataverse
- Anonymous3 years ago
Hi Anonymous - it appears that to need to change your PowerApps (dataverse) table. The target column is set in INT. This needs to be changed to BIG INT to accept larger numbers. If this still doesn't work, the column will need to be set to TEXT. Please note again, this change needs to be made on the Dataverse table not in the Power Query data type.
Hi Anonymous - rather than "Decimal Number" (per the first image) is the Data Type option for "Fixed Decimal Number" available. This will force the Power Query to use Currency.Type, and this might make Dataverse treat the column as Decimal or Money Type instead of Floating (I know it seems illogical). However, I would suggest using Whole Number data type if the numbers are larger than 100,000,000,000

Thanks you so much;
Setting the data type to BIG INT didn't help. But setting to TEXT worked.
