Hi Guys,
how to specify floating point, double and big/small floating point in power query?
Can anybody help?

Solved! Go to Solution.
You cannot. Power Query only supports 4 (really 3) number types:
Neither Power BI nor Power Query support all of the datatypes you'd find in a true database product like SQL Server.
You can read more about it here, and how to map between SQL Server data types and Power BI Data types. Choosing Numeric Data Types in DAX - SQLBI
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling
