Dear All,

 

I have a room tag dynamic block, in which the meters texts to be shown to 2 decimal places instead of 3. Can I apply a formula so that when the precision is changed to 2 decimal places the value shows upto 2 decimal places but without rounding off.

[The sample drawing is in Imperial units, not Metric, and involves no decimal places at all.  Please clarify what you need.]

Hi @Kent1Cooper @imadHabash , I have attached the sample, this is a dynamic block so in the block editor we need to switch the text between metric and imperial

Enter the value as a formula with an embedded field for the length so you da do some math operations on the value.  This moves the decimal place over 1 place, Truncates that value, then moves it over two more places.  So, a length value of 49750 becomes 497.50, then truncates to 497, then becomes 4.97
