I am using siunitx to align numbers in a column. Problem is I got by intention one row at the beginning which is a large number, indicated by ',' per 1,000. See the following example.

What I would like to achieve:

1) Align the decimals to the decimal point '.' This is row 2, 3 and 4.

2) center the big numbers, i.e. row 1 and 5 in this example. When I tested different options, the large numbers where always either too much to the left or too much to the right. If possible, they should simply be centered. I believe that makes the most sense in terms of formatting.

Is it possible?

For some reason your code compiles, but:

1) You should not (at least you have no reason to do that) use an S column type for columns that doesn't contain math.

2) If the contents of a cell inside an 'S' column is text place it inside curly braces. (This way the content will be centered by default from siunitx because it will be considered as a text). [See your "broken" alignToDec in the second column if outside of braces and place it inside braces to see the difference]

3) Use the same method as above for your big numbers...

4) You could specify the table-format as an optional argument in your S columns. (siunitx behaves better like this in general)
