Values with many zeros

‎08-12-2016 02:32 PM

Hello everyone,

 

I connected Power BI with an Excel spreadsheet.

 

When I display the values, strange numbers after the decimal point occur.

 

E.g. in Excel a sum is 800, but Power BI shows it as 800,0000000001.

 

Does enybody know this problem?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Chris

@CahabaData

 

In my opinion, it is actually a develoment item regarding "float is approximate". Check Floating point inaccuracy examples and Floating point.

 

@ChrisPBI

Thanks for sending me the pbix. In this case, try to change the "GGE in kg CO2e" from "decimal number" type to "fixed decimal number". Check the difference in Data types in Power BI Desktop.
