How to sum float value in stats

I have that field "numberOfDays" that I have created that returns values of number of days in float type (0.345, 1.435 ...).
I would like to sum the results grouped by number(just like the excel example). In the following code it returns the count of occurrences.

The code I am using:

    index=snow assignment_group_name=*israel* dv_state="Clos*" priority=2
    | dedup number 
    | eval month = substr(substr(sys_updated_on,6,7),1,2) 
    | eval year = substr(substr(sys_updated_on,3,4),1,2) 
    | eval timeField = year+"."+month 
    | rex field=dv_u_total_time_spent "(?<DAYS>\d+)\s*Day" 
    | rex field=dv_u_total_time_spent "(?<HOURS>\d+)\s*Hour" 
    | rex field=dv_u_total_time_spent "(?<MINS>\d+)\s*Minute" 
    | eval DAYS = if((isnull(DAYS)), 0, tonumber(DAYS)) 
    | eval HOURS = if((isnull(HOURS)), 0, tonumber(HOURS)) 
    | eval MINS = if((isnull(MINS)), 0, tonumber(MINS)) 
    | eval numberOfDays = round(DAYS) + round(HOURS/8,3) + round(MINS/480,3) 
    | replace OTHER with 0 in numberOfDays
    | table number sys_updated_on month year timeField DAYS HOURS MINS numberOfDays
    | chart sum(eval(numberOfDays<2)) as "0-1" sum(eval(numberOfDays>1 AND numberOfDays<6)) as "2-5" sum(eval(numberOfDays>5 AND numberOfDays<11)) as "6-10" sum(eval(numberOfDays>10)) as "11+" over timeField by numberOfDays

Result graph:

Also, the result graph shows extra data in the legend. and I need it to be like the excel.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

You are keeping accuracy that you won't be using in the reporting. This will get rid of most of the banding:

 | eval numberOfDays = round(DAYS + HOURS/8 +MINS/480,0)

to get rid of it all, you need to change more lines. This is a quick aircode version...

 | eval numberOfDays = round(DAYS) + HOURS/8 +MINS/1440,0)
 | eval numberOfDays=case(numberOfDays,"0-1",numberOfDays<6,"2-5", numberOfDays<11,"6-10",true(),"11+")
 | chart count over timeField by numberOfDays
