Create DAX Table with Decimal point Integers

I'm trying to create a table via DAX that will use latitudes and longitudes as integers however when I enter that values only whole numbers are available but I need decimal values x5 or x6.

I know I can "Enter Data" or "connect to Excel csv" file but the particular problem I'm working on requires a DAX table to be created in this fashion.

 

I have also followed other advice tips to change numbers into decimal numbers, not summarized and data category classifications as "latitude" and "longitude" respectively

 

My formula is: 

Test Coordinates = 
DATATABLE(
"Latitude",INTEGER,
"Longitude",INTEGER,
"Nod",INTEGER,
"Ion",INTEGER,
"Address",STRING,
{
{48.858242,2.2949378,31,1,"Address 1"},
{38.89773,-77.03653,32,2,"Address 2"},
{51.499447,-0.124759,33,3,"Address 3"},
{52.51622,13.37765,34,5,"Address 4"}
}
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please try the dax below:

 

Test Coordinates = 
DATATABLE(
    "Latitude",DOUBLE,
    "Longitude",DOUBLE,
    "Nod",INTEGER,
    "Ion",INTEGER,
    "Address",STRING,


    {
        {48.858242,2.2949378,31,1,"Address 1"},
        {38.89773,-77.03653,32,2,"Address 2"},
        {51.499447,-0.124759,33,3,"Address 3"},
        {52.51622,13.37765,34,5,"Address 4"}
    }
)

 

here is my test result:

@Anonymous , Create with ROW and union after that mark this column category as long/lat

 

example

union(

ROW("Month", 1),
ROW("Month", 2),
ROW("Month", 3)
)
