Hi Manish,
It may have to do with the number formatting. The system is rounding 0.4 to 0, since it thinks that you want an integer value. Right click on the field and choose “Customize field type”. Then look for the formatting tab toward the bottom. This will allow you to make the resulting value a decimal and how many decimal places.
