Not sure why, but when I input values with decimals, the sum column gets really excited and adds a bunch more decimal places.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing: https://img.skitch.com/20110816-paheqecayid28ts6ghd22scau9.png

I've tried storing the protein field as a float or even as just a string with the same result. In my view I have also tried displaying the values as "computed value" as well as "raw text."

Any idea what might be happening here?

This appears to only effect fields that are less than zero:

edit: I take it back - it seems to happen randomly:

You should define the precision.
Note that with precisionless floating point numbers, values are never exact and depend presentation settings for accuracy...
