Management Reporter Rounding Problem

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

We are using management reporter and have designed an income statement that has several column calculations. These calculations are really simple and divide the contents of a unit account form GP by a different GL account. For instance gross sales divided by units sold. The format of our calculation would be something like "B / B.MyRowName"

Our report definitions is set to No Rounding and we have specified the number formatting we want in the column definition. However, the numbers for these calculated columns are always rounding to two decimal places even though we specify 4.  I have gone so far as to hard code the calculation "3.3333 / 1" and on the report the whole column displays as "3.3300". The number format is setup to be: $###0.0000;($###0.0000)

I also tried setting the print control value on the column definition to "SR" so that it would suppress the rounding but no luck.

We don't have any values in the Row definitions for the Format Override so I don't know how this is happening.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

    RE: Management Reporter Rounding Problem

    I have the opposite problem.  We are using currency translation and only WANT two decimals.  MR is storing many decimals which makes the subtotals off (sometimes if you manually add the displayed numbers, they don't total what MR calculated because of hidden decimal places).  It also screws up the suppressed zero lines (because it doesn't suppress these "nonzero" lines with a value of 0.0000001). Finally it displays "0.00" instead of blanks where the row isn't all zeros but this one column is (or should be, but MR thinks it's 0.0000001 or some such number). The only rounding option I have is to whole dollars, not two decimals. HELP??
