PROBLEM WITH SCIENTIFIC NOTATION FORMAT IN COLUMN WITH ONLY NUMBERS AND NUMBERS AND LETTERS VALUES

Hi,

 

I have a problem with the scientific notation format. I have a column with only numbers and numbers and letters values. if I try to set the format as number i get an error, but if I set the format as text, the only numbers values are shown on scientific notation format and I need to show it with the entire number.

 

Thanks in advance.

Miguel

Hi @MiguelAnaya ,

 

Sorry to reply so late. In Power Query Editor, when the data type is "Any", you can see if it is displayed in scientific notation. If so, then it will still be displayed in scientific notation with text format after applying.

You need to change the type to "Text" in Power Query and then apply it.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
