Rounding and data format problem

DavidOliverChapman

Dear team,

 

I have a workflow which takes some external (third party) data and adds various "in house" categories and groupings.

 

In the incoming data are property transaction prices:

In order to add various groupings, I have a formula to create a new column, taking the price and diving by 1000000:

The relevent incoming fields are Double, 8. 

 

Problem: in the output, these fields are being rounded to a whole number:

Ideally, it would be good to have this set to 4/5 decimal places.

 

I did have a data cleansing tile and auto field following the formula, but I have deactivated these.

 

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

 

Best


David

hi @DavidOliverChapman 

 

A few ways to help you narrow down where the issue may be occurring 

 

  • Check the results in a browse tool just before your output
  • Check the formatting in the output excel sheet to ensure that the cells are not set to 0 decimals
  • Write the results to a .csv and check the results there.
