[HELP] Issue with importing xlsx data due to encoding or data recognition

[osadma]

Hi Alteryx experts,

I am importing an xlsx file to Alteryx, and the first column in the screenshots is recognized as V_WString by default, which is fine.

However, for some reason, some values, such as "9.30" (means Sep 30) in the xlsx, are unnecessarily converted into "9.3000000000000007" in Alteryx.

I suspect this is to do with encoding or data type issues, but does someone have any idea about this weird phenomenon?

9.30 (Sep 30 in Excel)

"9.3000000000000007" in Alteryx, why not 9.30?
