Yes of course, but in the view it shows with 2 decimals if I use DECIMAL(9,0). When I use DECIMAL(9,1) it shows only one decimal. It's strange, but a much better improvement to the character result that I had to use initially!

>>I have tried it before, but if I use signed or unsigned integer, it creates a character result. But now that you mention it I checked and using Decimal does result in a numeric output. I never thought of using Decimal, have to check what they mean with that. Strangely enough, it always displays two decimal points, but for my calculations that will work.
