Round to 5 decimal places

Hi all,

 

I'm currently working on an issue to round the data to 5 decimal places. It is simple in excel, but I'm wondering how can it be done by alteryx.

The sample data has been attached. 

 

Thank you so much.

  hi DataNath, thanks seems easy and clean, but may i also ask to keep 0 if decimals shorter than 5? such like 4.35  to 4.35000?

hi @Fangfang 

 

Hope you have checked my solution to overcome the issue of 0 at end.

 

PadRight(tostring([Out1]),7,'0')

 

Many thanks

@Fangfang sure, in my previous output I had the output data type as a double. If you just change it to fixed decimal with a scale of 5, it'll automatically populate the extra trailing zeros without any change to the expression needed:

hi ShankerV, thank you for your kindly help, but your solution seems a little more complex to me. My original workflow had been too long and too many tool, this is a part of it. So i would like to use an easy way to deal it now.  But I will study careful about yours later. Thank you so much again.
