Hi Gary, indeed this solved my issue with the conversion! Great! I've read about it in the documentations but was not able to figure it out all the way.. Can you please explain how to solve the issue with too many numbers after a comma in lightning_strikes? It counts strikes as it should but the output in my html always shows for example 35,000000 when it should be more appropriate with only 35. Strange because in the cell of the database it shows with only one decimal....
Thanks for fixing the conversion issue, helped alot!
