Power Query Erasing/Changing my Data

Anonymous

I have a data set that I perform a calculation on to generate a new column of numbers. I usually import it into Power Query and use the Unpivot feature so I have two rows for each data point, "NetMFI" and "NormalizedNetMFI" (the calculated field). I've done this many times before without issue but now when I perform my calculation, I see the correct numbers in the NormalizedNetMFI column, but when I pull it into Power Query all of my normalized values turn into 0's and 1's.

Does anyone have any idea why Power Query would be erasing/modifying the values I just calculated?

    Check the options in Power Query, you can disable the automatically creation of the "Change Type" step in the Global section.

    I figured it out, Power Query threw in a "change type" step and was changing my normalized column to a Int64 type for some reason.

    This has nothing to do with Power Query, it's up to your data.

    If you need further help I need to see your (sample) file.
