Formatting numbers like in Excel

FazalurRehman

How to format numbers in cells to show thousands separator and two decimal places. I tried to search , could not find any thread about this. Someone please help. I am new to smartsheet.

Hi,

In the toolbar, there is a .00> button (the button furthest to the right) where you can increase the decimal.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

This works for formatting a column but when using join to merge column data I haven't found a way to format a number inline in a formula like you can do in excel.

Can you explain in more detail what you mean? Maybe provide some examples of what you are trying to accomplish?

Oh. My. God. I have brought mapping data into Smartsheet, only to see my X and Y coordinates be rounded down from 13 decimal places to FIVE. Are you KIDDING ME? Those numbers MEAN SOMETHING! Is there a setting somewhere to expand the max????

Hi @Suzanne Raphael

Can you share some examples of the numbers you're using?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
