@Anonymous ,
Not sure with your exact requirement. Are you trying to convert the column as text which has 0?if so then, you can remove the change type step from Power query.
For better result, Please provide some sample data and your exact requirement.

Hello @Anonymous
Could you post the M-code of your query here? Did you check if your data is sorted and therefore maybe your real data is at the end of your data?

I was trying to figure out why do my imported values from csv file gets transformed into 0s, turns out that when the data gets loaded into the report the 0s are automatically sorted to be the top rows of the individual column.
Also i acidentally pressed accepted as solution.... Is there a way to unaccept this/correct this?
