Understanding Decimal Scaling

Decimal scaling enables you to simplify the way large numbers appear in tabular sections. You can change decimal scaling for a single field in a tabular section, for all fields in a tabular section, or for all fields in all tabular sections of a report.

This table illustrates how the amounts in a report appear when the numeric data is scaled to 1000:

Numeric Data

Displayed Value

100,000.42

100

10,041.62

10

1,021.75

1

1,512.69

1.5

When modifying decimal scaling at the report level, you must consider the existing batch versions.
