[Qgis-user] Decimal numbers in Qgis

[Hakala Oiva (MTT)]

Thanks Werner. It is possible to send a shapefile, but the problem is not tied with any specific shapefile. The problem is with every shapefile. And if I remember right there was also a problem with ArcGrid. All the grid values turned also to integers.

I will send the shapefile privately in a separate mail.

Oiva

Hi!
Is it possible to provide the shapefile somewhere to take a closer look at it?

regards
Werner
