Define accuracy in this context?

I mean the number of digits after the point or the precision of the whole digit. For example I want to have 2 insted of 2.00

Hi Maryam,

 

unfortunately this is not currently possible. The Series (and Range) components output floating point numbers, and they get formatted with at least a single decimal. If you want to display them with a different formatting you can use an Expression component and a custom formatting mask, and if you want to convert them to integers, you'll need to plug the output of Series into an Integer parameter.

 

I can make these components smarter so they output Integers whenever possible and floating point numbers whenever needed.

Hi David,

Your work is great. Thanks for your advice. I used the Integer Component and I got what I needed.

Cheers
