Can a custom metric be a decimal?

Hi, I’m using the Web SDK to retrieve this data, but I can’t find a way to make it display in decimals as it does on the website. Is there any way within Analytics to ensure the data comes in with decimals? So far, I’ve only managed this with calculated metrics.

Hi @krozi

you could try creating a calculated metric of your current metric and change the decimals as desired in the calculated metric settings.

choose format "Decimal"

Yes, it’s a solution I was already aware of, but it would create a "duplicate" of the metric, and I wanted to avoid that.

Thank you very much.

@krozi i have been creating calculated metrics to capture currency format with decimals. However, I came across the thread below, worth trying

I am using the Web SDK to capture this value from the website's Datalayer, so this solution wouldn’t be appropriate for me. Moreover, if you use "parseInt(x).toFixed(n)", it will return an integer with n zeros as decimals (e.g., 124.00). The correct approach would be to use "parseFloat(x)" and then ".toFixed(n)" to limit the number of decimals displayed.
