Hello @v-stephen-msft
thank you for your reply.
I have checked and I think that I was mislead by the behaviour of excel in the source file.
I thought I had formatted the cells as text, as after applying the format they were aligned to the left. Actually they were still formatted as number, and were effectively formatted as text only after double clicking on the cells.
I still do not understand why, if floating number error is involved, extra digits are added, instead of just cutting the digits

Hello @v-stephen-msft
I think I have found an explanation
I wrongfully assumed that my data were stored as text as I did "format as text" on the column. however they were not as only after I doubleclicked on the cell the green tick warning appeared.
