Thank you. I am aware of this package, but it has some disadvantages for our purpose: 1. The whole siunitx machinery has to be started, which results in unwanted formatting of numbers. 2. For proper results, one has to tell siunitx the maximum number of numbers before and after the decimal separator, and it is hard to calculate that from within LyX (this is also the reason why we use our own approach instead of the dcolumn package).
