Hi Ben, We don't have support for your specific scenario right now. Underneath, we're using java.text.DecimalFormat: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html It doesn't have support for significant digits, and even if it did, this scenario is a tweak on the "usual" scenario of having a fixed number of significant digits. I think your current choices are to use either 0.000 or 0.00#. The former will always include three decimal places, even for values that are > 1. The latter will omit the third decimal place for values < 1 if it's 0. Supporting two different formats based on the value wouldn't be that difficult if this is worth prioritizing for a future release. Thanks, Josh |
