Float type rounding issues

(please try not to paste text as images... hard to see, help, debug etc...etc. paste as formatted text)

But YUP You need to use a double as the type not float as you are exceeding the significant digits of a single precision float

Also you are confusing the _source (what comes in the source json) and the fields what is index stored and showed in the Discover, Visualizations.. etc

Here follow along

What you have now

PUT discuss-test/
{
  "mappings" : {
  "properties": {
    "@timestamp": {
      "type": "date"
    },
    "balance": {
      "type": "float"
    }
  }
  }
}
POST discuss-test/_doc
{
 "@timestamp" : "2022-12-22T17:44:11.891Z",
 "balance" : 11555.7125 
}

Now lets do it with a double

DELETE discuss-test

PUT discuss-test/
{
  "mappings" : {
  "properties": {
    "@timestamp": {
      "type": "date"
    },
    "balance": {
      "type": "double"
    }
  }
  }
}

POST discuss-test/_doc
{
 "@timestamp" : "2022-12-22T17:44:11.891Z",
 "balance" : 11555.7125 
}

POST discuss-test/_doc
{
 "@timestamp" : "2022-12-22T17:45:11.891Z",
 "balance" : 11666.7725 
}

GET discuss-test/_search
{
  "fields": [
    "*"
  ]
}
