Numeric Fields
In the Properties window for a numeric field, you specify the format in which to display values in the report. The following table describes the four choices available for Format under Format. All of these choices use the selection for Decimal places under this same heading to determine the number of decimal places to show. For more information, see Format.
The settings specified in the Regional Settings Properties window in the Windows Control window are used for negative amounts and decimal and currency symbols. Values are rounded to the specified decimal place.
