Hi @11131,  
In order to do what you want you're going to need to import your table as a FeatureTable[Frequency] format since this is the format ultimately expected by the Procrustes plugin, which unfortunately means you can't have non-integer values as it expects counts. One workaround would be to multiply all the values you have by 10 or 100 as to lose the decimal then you should be able to import it as a frequency table as you would normally. This [tutorial](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/importing-dada2-and-phyloseq-objects-to-qiime-2/4683) should help with the importing. I have no idea if this is a valid approach for what you want to do, but it should work. Good luck!
