Hello, I have a problem when I import data.

I have Kibana 5.6.3.  
in Management -\> index patterns -\> this field is correctl defined as a number with default format (i have also tested with a specific format 0,0.[000]

In my CSV file, I have a column with integer sums (5, 10, 20), and with decimals (5.99, 9.99, ...).

The problem is that Kibana does not show decimals, I just have 5, 10, 20, 9, ...  
The mapping is set to "integer". Does the CSV have to have a particular format for the numbers ?

```
                        "Amount":{
                          "type":"integer","index":"not_analyzed"
                          },  

```

Thank you !

From Discover it's ok.

But From Visualize there is no decimal.

I dont understand why.

The field in the Elasticsearch mapping can only have 1 data type, so if you want to be able to work with decimals, the mapping should be one of the types that have higher precision than `integer` such as `double`, `float`, `half_float`, etc: [Numeric datatypes | Elasticsearch Reference [5.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/number.html)

The data in Discover shows the value from `_source` which is the original data that the document was indexed with. But the table visualization is an aggregation that shows the value as it is mapped.
