Power BI cannot convert to integer from Oracle

[Anonymous]

Hi,

We are trying to bring an integer number from Oracle but the power query always recognize it as decimal number. We already tried use CAST ( #number as INT ) and TO_INT Oracle functions on the view, but didn't work.

You can disable Power Query's feeble attempts at guessing column types. You can also override them as part of the script. Change the column to "Whole Number"

Thanks @Ibendlin, but the client wants to avoid any transformations on power bi side.

try TRUNC(#number)

We also used TRUNC and TO_NUMBER, nothing has worked so far.

Are you using the Oracle driver or the ODBC driver?

Oracle Database.
