Converting numbers to text without losing decimals
Hi!
I am trying to create a reporting module with mixed line items (numbers and percentages) so I am converting the numbers to text for display purposes only.
We need 1 decimal and have very small numbers eg. 0.0001 which should then be displayed as 0.0 however during the process the decimal is lost.
Same issue with integers: they are displayed as 3 instead of 3.0
This is how it is in Anaplan currently:
- ACT is text using TEXT(ACT1)
- ACT1 is in number format
Thank you for your help in advance!

@hajnalkasostai If it's only happening for 0 values you can add a condition to your conversion. Probably not what you were hoping for but does the job.
if TEXT(ACT1) = "0" then "0.0" else TEXT(ACT1)

Unfortunately it isn't always 0, but it does work as you suggested

@HomlodiCinti ah are you getting stuff like "1". What you can do then is this function
if FIND(".", TEXT(ACT1)) = 0 then TEXT(ACT1) & ".0" else TEXT(ACT1)
0
