Hello,
There is no specific data type for a decimal. It's data type is referred to as Number. Although, If you would like to make the field a decimal you must specify a number in the Decimal Places field when creating the field--like so...

The Decimal Places field specifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. 

If my solution helped you please mark it as best answer so that others with this question can find a solution.
Have a great day!
