Number must be an integer; i.e a number without a fractional or decimal part.
Would something like
> "$if($strcmp($replace(%rating%,',',,'.',), **324** ),1,0)" IS 1
suit your needs?
This would take any decimal number (say, 3,24 or 3.24) from `%rating%`, remove its divider character (comma, period, etc.) and compare it to the integer version of said number (324 in this example); on a positive match the function would return 1, and match the filter expression.

Yes. After a short glance at the documentation this should not have been a surprise. And as the experienced MP3tag and forum user that you are, I would have assumed that you use that source of information first.
As filter you could try
`"$replace(%rating%,.,)" GREATER 2`

I looked but did not see where it said you could not use a decimal.
Unfortunately, assuming I know anything is a bad assumption. 🙂 I wish I could claim otherwise but that which I think I know, I often forget. 😆 But I did try to figure it out, unfortunately, I failed. Thanks for the suggestions and clarifications. I will try your filter, but I can't seem to figure out how to apply your tips.
I guess I could just use 1-10 rating system.

As rboss already quoted from the [help](https://docs.mp3tag.de/filter/#field-greater-number):
An "integer" in computer science means digits/numbers without decimal places.

Press F3 to activate the filter.
Copy & paste
`"$replace(%rating%,.,)" GREATER 2`
This command will replace all dots in the field `%rating%` with nothing.
So your 2.5 becomes 25 and is therefore greater then 2 and therefore appears in your filtered list of files with a rating greater then 2.

I wonder why you don't use [POPULARIMETER](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping/#popularimeter) and its rules but a user-defined field instead which is probably not read by a lot of players and comes with the additional drawback of having non-integer values.
BTW, my assuption about utilizing the documentation as you mentioned it in 2020

> Thanks again ohrenkino! I am confused as I see WORK (%work%) in Tag fields exclusive to MP4 in [Tag Field Mappings – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping) Since the only field mapping I did was the one above for ID3v2, do I have to do additional mapping or will I be fine with both MP4 and ID3v2 if I just use CONTENTGROUP (%contentgroup%) for work title?
