Just go to  Properties<<<<Number<<<<

and then you can select Fixed to option in Number Format Setting and choose the Decimals..

You can also check other options for your better knowledge..

Hi

You did not say whether you wanted to change the display format or the number itself. num(2.958885674,'#.##') changes the display format, but not the underlying value. To change the number, use round(2.958885674, 0.01).

To illustrate

          num(2.958885674,'#.##') <> num(2.9580000,'#.##')

but

          round(2.958885674, 0.01 = round(2.9580000, 0.01)

Thnx for your replies.   Jonthan its just for display My  actual values is 2.9518876433449 if i use num(2.9518876433449, '#.##') its giving exact value i.e 2.95 but if u use num(2.9518876433449, '#.#') it giving 3.0 but my expected values is 2.9,For round function also its giving same result for both the cases..

Try with this

floor(2.9518876433449)+left(Frac(2.9518876433449),3) gives 2.9

floor(2.9518876433449)+left(Frac(2.9518876433449),4) gives 2.95

Hope it helps

Hi Anil,

You can also try like this

=Num(Floor(2.9518876433449) & '.' & Left(SubField(2.9518876433449, '.', 2), 1)) for 2.9

=Num(Floor(2.9518876433449) & '.' & Left(SubField(2.9518876433449, '.', 2), 2)) for 2.95

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.
