Hi @anbarb

 

I got information that this is by design. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-dataflows-create-use, section "consideration and limitations" - dataflows do not support M language's (aka Power Query) currency datatype. That's we translate it to decimal. The user should cast it to a supported type (in M).

@v-qiuyu-msft thanks !

I'll cast it in a view before the dataflow.
