Rounding to 4 decimal places
November 3, 2009 12:00 AM
So, rarely do I back down from a challenge, and I have found a way to display a number to 4 decimal places. You can see the guts within the file I uploaded called "rounding exercise.awt."
Note that I put a condition on the "Round lefthand" action. If there is enough of a number after dividing by 10,000, then that number is used for the lefthand side. If not, then it is blank.
I have not messed with the righthand side much, but I think I can guarantee some rounding issues if the number ends in one or more zeroes. You'd have to fine-tune the conditions...perhaps use Action Groups.
This is not the best way to display the number (at least, I hope not!), but it may do in a pinch. Once again, it hopefully will provide a springboard that gets you closer to the true answer.
