I have a table column that has numbers with decimals and some numbers end with an asterisk as the superscript. I am not able to align the column entries. If the superscript is not there, I am able to solve the problem using "dcolumn" package. But to have a
superscript, I have to use $ command in the maths mode. Then "dcolumn" is not working. Any suggestions would be of great help as I have spent lot of effort on it.<br>
For instance, my column entries are<br>
-.28***<br>
1.40<br>
-2.08*<br>
and so on.<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot, <br>

You can avoid the mathmode by using \textsuperscript{}:<br>
<br>
<br>
\documentclass{article}<br>
\usepackage[]{dcolumn}<br>
\newcolumntype{d}[1]{D{.}{,}{#1}}<br>
<br>
\begin{document}<br>
\begin{tabular}{|c|d{4}|c|} \hline<br>
da & 1.4242\textsuperscript{*} & sdfs \\ \hline<br>
da & 1.33& sdfs \\ \hline<br>
\end{tabular}<br>
<br>
\end{document}<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
