@Arkouda

.2 --> 0.002

1.2 --> 0.12

What makes the above having difference?

Hi Qui

 

I need to show all values leading by a decimal 

 

Current data comes in as mixed 

 

.2

1.2

50.22234555

75

.12

 

but need the the values to be lead by a decimal like below

.002

.12

.52223455

.75

@Arkouda 
So your data coming in a mixed format.

you want them all to be converted to be in a format that is leading by a decimal point?

so still what is the difference below

.2 --> 0.002 

1.2 --> 0.12
Can you give us the logic here, explaining how that each numer gets converted.

Correct want all values to lead by a decimal but needs to be six places following the decimal

 

See below as current data comes through (input > desired)

You can use the formula tool and create a new field with a fixed decimal of 8.6 and divide the “Bonus %” by 100. That should give you the results that you want.

@Arkouda 
Now it is very clear.

As suggested by @chukleswk , Lets use the format of Fixed Decimal.
