PowerBI Rest Api truncates doubles

[chstead]

Hi all, 

I work on a tool where we embedded PowerBI and use the rest api to push data to PowerBI. I noticed that although we are specifying the type of floats/doubles as 'double', they are being truncated to 2 decimal places (as if they were reals). Double is supposed to handle many decimal places. Does anyone have a workaround or advice? We could cast it to a string but that it's really what we want to do.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I've tested specifying the type as double or decimal, however the values are truncated to 2 decimal places as you described. I'm going to escalate this internally and I'll post back if there comes any update.
