Text to > 2 Decimals

Hello PQ Experts, 

On Power Query, Text when converted to Number results with only 2 decimals.

How do I convert to Text to Number but retain all decimal values ?

Not sure what you mean.  Can you provide some sample text values you are converting to text?  Are you using the Number.FromText function?

That would not help as resultant would get rid of decimal itself retrieving just numbers
