Does the Numerical textbox not allow decimals or characters?
The Numerical type question only accepts positive, whole numbers for the answer choice. If respondents type in decimal numbers (.) or insert characters like dollar signs or symbols ($), it returns an error that the question does not accept those characters. NOTE: If you must collect decimal numbers in the response, then you must create a Single Textbox question type instead. However, the Rating Average is not calculated in the Analyze section like it would for the Numerical type.
