Hi - I have searched for an answer to this but I haven’t understood what I’ve seen! I want to be able to round a value in CL and force it to display 2dps - even if the last one is a zero. So 213.5 would display as 213.50. If I use the round function that doesn’t happen - please can someone explai…

This is what I use: money=numericValue("\\operatorname{round}\\left(${r.float(1,10)},2\\right)") r.float will give you any possible number/decimal between 1 and 10, which you can change to be any numbers, and then the 2 that comes after tells it to be rounded off to the hundredths place, which you…

Hi - thanks for that. I have tried to use your format by replacing r.float(1,10) with the calculation I want it to round and it is still only showing 1 dp if the second dp is zero. Am I using it correctly? Thanks! (the part after the left bracket is displaying oddly! Sorry!) bandtwotax=numericVal…

Ok - thanks! So is my only work around to use a graphing component to find a way to capture the 2nd dp and then find a way to display it if that value is zero? Feels a little beyond me but I will have a go!

I have managed to make a workaround that checks if the rounded value to 2dp = 1dp and if it is, I manually add a zero to the content. I also check if rounded value to 0dp = 1dp and display an extra .00 if it is. I did this is all in the CL of the note rather than using an extra graph component, …

I think you have a bit of an issue there with your code - it currently incorrectly rounds things. Try 5.34 for example.

oh NO! thank you for spotting that - I will attempt to fix it!!

Fixed it! I was getting it to check if the rounded value to 0 dp and 1dp were the same and then use that as a basis for assuming it was a whole number! I have added a check to ensure the rounded value to 2dp is the same as well before assuming it is a whole number. Thank you! If you spot any other m…

I’m pretty sure there is no formatting control. I was also asking about support for currency handling back in May (Handling Currency Values) and nothing seemed available then.
