Number Formats for Large Numbers...

Post by jdipal »

I have x-axis data that is approx. 900,000,000. The Default Format is Scientific: 9.000E+8. I can't find a format that just diplays the value, or possibly a value with a few decimal places. I can trick the display by using Fractions, which works for integers, but I'd like to display 900000475.3 for example. These are typical of GPS seconds times.
I'm sure I'm missing something, Thanks!

You're not missing much. There is no number format that will display 900,000,475.3 as "900000475.3". The best you can do is use a fixed number of decimal places (9) and use either the default or "Powers of 10" number formats.

The default format would then display 9.000004753E+10; the Powers of 10 format would display 9.000004753x10^8 (with a superscript 8, which can't be done on this forum).

Thanks for the quick response. I would like to vote for that type of format if possible. Thanks.
