Tostring removing zeros

Bobbins

Morning All,

My data is 3 simple columns, a text field, a number field and a set decimal field

I want to create a 4th column where its the 3 columns joined together, IE:

 

"Smith 1.21 0.5000" 

 

However, when I use the following:

 

[Name] + " " + tostring([PPH]) + " " + ToString([Multipler])

 

It gives me this as the to string is deleting zeros:

How do I keep the zeros please?

Thank you

Hey @Bobbins, the second argument of the ToString() function is the numDec option, where you can define the number of decimal places in the output. Therefore, you could just set this to 4:

 

 

[Name] + " " + tostring([PPH]) + " " + ToString([Multiplier],4)
