Some weeks ago my SC started using float values in my charts. This is causing a lot of problems calculating equivalents. How to fix? :) Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBuq0N1w |

Why would this happen? Why would SC not fix this permananetly? This is not a feature, it is clearly a bug. I've never seen software in 20 years of development that ships with this problem for its customers.

Everything is set to default values. I don't want to change that because it will cause problems when I have other data types in a cell (for example a 1 or a text value).

The Number Format doesn't remove float values; it only removes them from displaying. You can use a formula in column H to remove the float values. Start by removing them in the Tick Size, e.g. H21: =1/ROUND(1/J21,0) Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Removing Floating Point Imprecision |
