Hello All,

We have crystal reports version 8.

I have a field with numbers and when I choose "browse data" I can see that the data is in a string format with length 32.

For example I get: 1.0e-005   1.5e-001    1.5e-004  etc...

Now I would like to display the value like this: 1.0e-5   1.5e-1  1.5e-4  without the 2 zeroes.

Anyone an idea on how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Bart Geeraerts

Hi

Create a formula in Crystal and use the code below

left("1.0e-005",4)+replace(Mid("1.0e-005",instr("1.0e-005","-")),"00","")

 
Replace the hard coded values with {table.fieldName}
 
Cheers

Good ans rahuls but your formula will limit the variance e.g if 1.54e- occurs etc
try this instead
 
=LEFT(I2,instr("e",I2)+1)&ROUND(MID(I2,instr("e",I2)+2,100),0)
