ethushara Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hi, Please let me know how can i limit the decimal points in a value resulted from a calculation. When i create frequent email with some results of calculations, the emails comes with so many decimal points in the value as below. Plant output(kW) : 518 Plant Factor - Daily : 30.75261904762 Plant Factor - Monthly : 49.14841614907 So please let me know how to limit this decimal points to 2 or 1.

AzeoTech Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Depends on where you are doing it. If you are simply using a variable value component, you can use the Precision parameter and it will display just that many decimals. Elsewhere, you can use the format() function to format the data however you like. Format() works just like the printf() function in C / C++ which has been around a long time. There are many examples on the web, or in the DAQFactory User's guide. But for example, if you have a variable "DailyPlantFactor" that you want to format to 2 decimals, you would do: format("%.2f", DailyPlantFactor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
