Simply Numeric Data types

[ScottShimer]

There are currently 7 data types related to numeric values, including byte.  Simply and standardize the way Alteryx handles numeric values.  Condense the numeric data types to one and provide a way to control the decimal places by indicating how many are needed to the right of the decimal.  The current numeric datatypes are confusing and do not behave the same with the formulas functions, like Round.

Adopt the standard numeric functions seen across multiple tools and languages like Excel, SQL, etc;  like RoundUp, RoundDown, AbsoluteValue, Integer, etc.
