I think I was thinking about using a template column and replacing the decimal point there, but trying out, I realize now that you need to have another column with a blank value for the replacement and the template doesn’t seem to like numeric columns as the base template, so it would first have to be converted using another template column to alpha. Seems to work, but ultimately not any more efficient than your solution.
