I received a number of different constructions for the power exchange in ARRL DX, and I just used common sense to determine what I entered in the log. NN is 99, 1K, K, KW and such got entered as is.

The low power ops were a treat. I got a lot of 5 and 1 reports for power, some would try to lessen confusion and sent 5W or 1W. I entered those in the log as received.

I had one exchange with a (very weak) station who sent 1M. Maybe a milliwatt? Who knows? I put it in the log as I received it, hopefully it will go through OK. As long as he puts that in his log as the data sent, I would think it shouldn’t be a problem.
