First sorry by my english (I´m brazilian)
My problem is this: when I add a rational number (ex: 2.3), the program acept this like a text. The way I used is create two coluns (a,b) and used b=a/10, so this way I can add a rational number... (ex: I want 3.4, so a=34 and b=34/10=3.4 )
Please help me. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.

The expression col(B)=col(A)/10 fills col(B) with the 1/10 times the values in col(A). (In the Set Column Values dialog for column B just enter col(A)/10.) For rational numbers this is exactly the same as typing the values into col(B). 34/10 is exactly the same as typing 3.4 so I don't understand your comment "the program accept this like a text" or how it is a problem to add rational numbers.

My problem is this, when I input the rational number (3.4), origin add 34 or 3.4 in text format... The only way that I can add a rational number is col(b)=col(a)/10. Resume: My program cant understand a rational number input.
I think this problem is a wrong windows configuration... My friend fix this formating his PC, but I wont do that...

Is this just a problem that your program expects a comma ',' as separator (34/10 = 3,4 rather than 3.4)? You can change the separator used by Origin with Tools > Options.
