Matrix Table Field Formatting - Value decimal places unavailable

‎06-10-2018 05:58 PM

Anyone know why under Field Formatting in the Table Matrix the Value Decimal Places would be greyed out and not be available to select?  I can not set decimal places for any of the fields in this table, even if the Display Units is set to Auto.

I'm also having this trouble.

 

I've created a 'percentage' behavior in my total column by virtue of ISFILTERED, but I need the main data body to show as units, while the percentage has to be at least decimals.  It seems like this field should control the behavior I need but it's grayed out!  Arg!

Hi bhorvati,

 

I cannot answer why this is happening but an alternative is to use the 'Modelling' tab and format your number and Decimal places in there as shown.
