Bumped into this one on production... 😞

We had a table with a column that was so close to zero as to be irrelevant, and the Perspective table just shows `NaN`...

Paste this into a table's data property and you get it right away:

```auto
[{ "TinyValue": 7.496146992025388e-8 }]

```

If I change the `numberFormat` setting for the TinyValue column to "none" or "scientific" it will start working but display excessive detail. I really just want it to show a "0" or "0.00".

This also happens using a dataset for the data property, so I suspect it is not source datatype dependent.

Why can't the standard "number" formatter handle this and just show a value near 0?

Ran this through a support ticket after not getting a response here, and they confirmed it is an issue and opened a ticket which i just put in the subject line.
