I've been playing around with column definition, increasing decimal point in numerics and nothing changed. I couldn't see the number of decimals increase in any step of my computation. It seems related to: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/rounding-off-number-results-in-Base-td4056773.html that's pretty an old problem and I couldn't find any workaround.
