Multiplication with a constant value returning incorrect numbers

I am multipling some columns in the table with *1000 as there is a need to convert 1000s to Millions on our business end.

For eg. 222,000 is multiplied by 1000. I expect a result of 222,000,000. But I don't get the expected result. I see an increased number.

Has someone seen this issue before? I am using the Calculator tool for the multiplication in the Magic ETL.

    Are you seeing the incorrect totals within ETL?  I would make sure that you aren't experiencing a rollup later on.

     

    Also, another option would to multiply the values with a beast mode formula on your output.  It could keep things cleaner.

    Can you provide some screenshots. Just want to see what kind of 'different' numbers you are getting as the output.
