Hi @ilanbe! Format settings will be disabled when counter value is not a number - was this your case?

[ilanbe]

Hi @kravets-levko
Just rechecked; the problem occur when the number is decimal

20.56546456 - Problem
50 - OK
30.2 - Problem
30.43 - Problem
0 - OK

Thank you for feedback @ilanbe! Can you please provide a minimal data sample to reproduce this issue (e.g. export CSV from your query) or reproduce this on our demo instance?

This is the test data
"ID","AMOUNT","TEST"
4,20.56546456,"xxxxx"
5,50,"xxxx"
6,30.2,"xxxxx"
7,30.43,"xxxxx"

Thanks for the prompt response

Thank you @ilanbe! I managed to reproduce this on preview instance only with string values (e.g. SELECT '20.56546456'), if query returns a numeric value - everything works fine. I'll look into code a bit later, for now please check and ensure that your query returns numbers and not strings

It seems that the issue is specific to Oracle.
but the column in question is defined as "NUMBER", so no reason to return string

@ilanbe thank you for the update! one more thing you can try is upgrading to latest Redash version (however, I'm not 100% sure that it will help)
