"How avoid exponential notation in compose"

Explanation: the %d conversion is for integer values. Are all of your data integer valued? (hint: no). The documentation states "If you specify a conversion that does not fit the data, such as a text conversion for a numeric value, MATLAB® overrides the specified conversion, and uses %e." By definition the %e conversion uses exponent notation.

Solution: specify a more suitable conversion, e.g. %g

daily = [-250; 156.25; -37.5];
compose("%.5g",daily)

ans = 3x1 string array
    "-250"
    "156.25"
    "-37.5"
