Hi @bernadette-eu , when you see decimals, it means that the values represent estimates rather than reported values, which are usually integers. Estimates are always constrained to reported totals. Estimates arise whenever we need to harmonize age groups, for example. This is the case for Germany, which reports data in age groups wider than 10 years, and is likely the only explanation for your example. Some other situations include:
- if we rescale sex-specific counts to sum to a total
- if we rescale fractions to sum to a total (fractions are often rounded)
- if we derive a count from a ratio or similar
There are probably other cases, but all have in common that counts are constrained within the finest-possible categories.
In the future, we may begin calendar harmonization, so that date intervals are maximally comparable, and in this case, interpolated estimates would also have decimals.
I hope this satisfies your query.
