Family table in MS Excel: double value required

When entering a dimension value in a family table, Excel warning window (Validation failed) pops up and says "double value required". What is a double value? Why does a dimension need a double value? Why is it required by excel? How to bypass this warning message?

    Found the culprit: conflicting family tables with the same name/reference. Deleted the idx-file and the warnings stopped appearing.
    Still no idea what the double value means
