  • Hi @Happy

    There are a couple of things you could do here, depending on how strict you need to be.

    One formatting suggestion would be to have a formula in a flag column that will automatically flag any row that has over 0.99 in that cell.

    =IF([Number Column]@row >= 1, 1, 0)

    Then you can set up Conditional Formatting to highlight that row or cell if the flag is raised. You can also set the Formatting Options of that column to only show 2 decimals (although there may be more in the background).


    If that doesn't work for you and you need to lock the column to your requirements, what I would do in this instance is set the column to be a Dropdown type of column and add your 99 options as values for that column.

    Then you can restrict the column to those dropdown options:
