"Number" type questions not allowing to put decimal

D

Hi Everyone, 

 

I set up one of my question as a “number” question, but I have noticed that my users can’t insert a number with decimal. Ex: 53,4 - Typeform will only allow rounded number like 53. 

To avoid this, I have changed the question type to text. But I am using this value in a googlesheet (reported automatically via Zappier) and as it is a text type question, I can’t do calculation with that value in my googlesheet. 

 

does anyone know how to allow decimals in number type questions?

 

Thanks a lot!

Deborah

@Deborah LB - welcome back to the community!

 

in Google Sheets, you can use the VALUE() function to covert your text  into a number. 

ie if you have text string “826” sitting in cell A4, you can put the following in cell A5 → =value(A4)

and it will return the numeric value in cell A5
