Hello! I'm trying to show a sum of decimal numbers at Kibana. I'm sending as a double variable to the index pattern. When I did the sum at kibana it appears like 0. My index parttern has this format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/2/b222aff3b102ac14d77883d31f2f51537da3d54a.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/a/fae8a26a813f6ff866b99de62f410c22de8cde53.png) What may be the problem? Metric visualizations only support integer numbers? ---

Hi @gusgus1993 welcome to the community. How / where did you sum the numbers? Curious if this is a predefined metric or a custom field you created? If so did you create a mapping for the field? How / where in Kibana are you trying to display the sum? ---

Hello @stephenb! I sum the number with a metric visualization, creating a new index field: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/d/ad0b35e71b285b71efb1d13feb1f3b384a450e31.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/4/540bb78807e481794468a6d5058a97980b892442.png) The index field was created with uipath, as a double variable. The variable take the value of 0.17 or 0.34. If the value is an integer value it works perfectly, but i need to sum decimal numbers. I'm trying to display the sum as a metric visualization. Thank you so much for your help! ---

Hello, this is an example of the field: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/6/669741d1d1a2485ed2fc49b268afef716f00b0d1.png) ---

Hi ... trying to follow along. 1st Image is in Index Pattern field management page... OK good, but that does not necessarily determine how a field will be displayed in a visualization after and aggregation like `sum` is applied. Can you tell / show me which visualization you are using? I can not tell Can you show me the rest of the visualization setup up looks like? Can you then show me what the result looks like? ---

The visualization that I'm using is Metric: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/2/d2ca45269d87197480401d1104586e492ab96508.png) I'm gonna show you the rest: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/6/960edd4c372c7da882361f2c3d074e01d6f1867b.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/7/57ac07523d7565c9483e3ae5d611697f2c35738b.png) ---

And there is data in the last 24 hours? What version of Elastic / Kibana? Yes : Metrics Visualization supported Decimal Numbers Yes seems odd ![Screen Shot 2020-10-21 at 11.43.16 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/9/09e89c813cb53f9ec242cece3981ea1b2d4f443a.png) ---

Some other things, try `max` instead of `sum` see what you get. This feels like a formatting thing.... Also in the index pattern can you just change the format back to default and see what happends ![Screen Shot 2020-10-21 at 11.54.39 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/a/9ad8ab04c44892c663d804dee29920b15edfe3ca.png) ---

Hello @stephenb, I created a new log field again and it works perfectly. I think the problem was that the information that i provided firstly was integer value. Then, I changed the field to double and it didn't refresh. Thanks for your help! ---
