I'm very new to EasyMorph and I must be doing something wrong....I'm trying to create a calculated column which is to multiply an existing column's value by .6

However when I put this into the expression editor it highlights the decimal in the .6 and says "unknown term". What am I doing wrong?

I figured it out...you have to put the zero before the decimal. Must be [AMOUNT] \* 0.6

Yes, that's the correct way of writing fractal decimals in EasyMorph.
