Q11224 - INFO: NFORMAT

NFORMAT rounds the value to the specified Decimal Places and sets the cell to display to the specifed Decimal Places (ie it overrides Format, Cell, Decimal Places).

SYNTAX:

NFORMAT(Value,DecimalPlaces) 

Value:  Value to be formatted.  Can be value, cell reference, or another function.

Decimal Places: Number of Decimal Places to round to

NOTES:

This function is used when designing a report that prompts for the variable number that you want to report on.  Using this function with VINFO (see example below) allows you to format the results properly.

EXAMPLES:

NFORMAT(7.678,2)  displays 7.68 in the cell


NFORMAT(B3,VINFO(41,"DECPLACES"))  displays 4.7 where B3 = 4.6667.  VINFO is used to return the number of Decimal Places for variable 41. 

NFORMAT(V(B$2,1),VINFO(B$2,"DECPLACES"))  formats the daily value for the variable number entered in B2 to the number of decimal places for the variable number entered in B2
