PivotChart Decimal Place on Fixed Number Format on Averaged Field

I have a pivotchart which I cause to take a huge list of people's test
percentiles and calculate the average for each year. I then display the
average above each bar. The problem is that there are too many numbers
after the decimal place for each figure. I went into the properties and
changed the number format to "fixed" but it doesn't give me the option
to change the number of decimal places that are used (it does every
where else in MS Office!). It seems that it just uses the regional
settings for the computer. But the problem I have in changing that is
that I have other pivotcharts in the same report that does something
similar but needs a different number of decimal places. Is there any
way around this without having to create another query to calculate the
average and then having the pivotchart display the info from the new
query (this is a huge database that I put together with many charts and
I don't want to have to redo the way that it works just because of this
decimal place issue)?

John Bentley: INTRO The phrase "decimal number" within a programming context is ambiguous. It could refer to the decimal datatype or the related but separate concept of a generic decimal number. "Decimal Number" sometimes serves to distinguish Base 10 numbers, eg "15", from Base 2 numbers, Eg "1111". At other times "Decimal Number" serves to differentiate a number from an integer. For the rest of this post I shall only use either...

I am trying to format a number in an unbound text field using the following format statement in the field's Exit event: txt11UnitWeight = Format(txt11UnitWeight, "00000.00") I want the number to the left of the decimal to be 5 digits long, left zero filled and 2 digits to the right of decimal.

Hello All. It's great to be in a place where people share their knowledge in a frendly way. It's seem to me unlikely for PivotChart not to have a certain feature. I didn't find it, and looking through the net I couldn't find an explanation. I have a table with a field of Cities being the Category Axis (X-Axis), a feild of AvgPayments being data Y-Axis with an automatic scale that takes into account the max. AvgPayments value, and a...

I have a function that takes a double and truncates it to a specified number of decimal places. I've found that I have to add a small number to the input value otherwise I get errors due to the way floating points work. double TruncateToDigits(double dValue, int iDigitsToRightOfDecimal) { double dEpsilon = 1e-8; // high limit, about 100,000,000 for this epsilon (1e-8) // low limit, about 7 decimal places for this epsilon (1e-8)

I need to change the decimal value in one of my databases. Currently my company uses an ID system with nice whole numbers, i.e. no decimal numbers.

In my table I currently changed the "Decimal Places" to 2 and the "Format" to "General Number". I then tell it to update format everywhere the ID is...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
