Scientific Notation Issue

I have a matrix in which I want to display all values as whole numbers. The value field is a measure I need the source data to still have the decimal place so that aggregations total correctly.

 

In the modeling tab, I have the measure that I'm using as Data Type: Decimal Number, Format: Decimal Number, with 2 decimal places. When I format the visual, I set Value Decimal Places:0.

 

In the matrix, values in which abs(0)>0.01, are display correctly as whole numbers. Values very close to zero but not quite equal to zero (e.g. 0,00000123), show in scientific notation.

How can I get near zero values to display as zero?

 

I have tried expanding on the measure with an if statement to change near zero values to zero, leaving all other values the same. This works, but when I do this it prevents me from being able to export the visual to an .xls or .csv file.

I've run into the same thing. I think it's a bug. 

 

My workaround is to wrap the measure with ROUND(measure_calc, 0).

Thanks for describing your issue this way. It would help a lot if you have a test file available, possibly with the measure you mention. That would make it a lot easier for us to troubleshoot and help you.
