Hello,
I have a calculated field displaying as a numeric, with occurrences like 9.999999997
I'd like to always have 2 decimals.
From what I learned in this forum, the best way to do this is using the cell script for this field.
But I can't seem to get the syntax right. Can someone show me how I can reformat the output to a 2 decimal numeric please?
Thanks a lot,
Tom

Hello,
I've found the answer myself, so for everything else who needs this:
cell.Value = (Convert.ToDouble(cell.Value)).ToString("#.##");

Normally you do not need to use CellScript...
Just set the 'Format' property to 'Numeric 2 Decimals'

Thanks,
This does not seem to work when using excel files for a source.

probably because some cells have text in the Excel sheet, so the ODBC driver returns the data as text instead of numeric...
