I'm having an issue with formating a field so that I can enter numbers with
the desired amount of decimal places according to 2 significant digits.
The problem is, if I want to enter the number 10, it will correctly display
as 10. If I want to enter the number 2.0, it changes the display to "2".
But 2 is unacceptable because I need to show 2 significant digits. Also, I
can't just change it to a text field, because I need to do calculations on
these numbers.
I've played with the DecimalPlaces options, and the Format options, but I
can't force it to display what I want. It either adds decimals to something
like 10 so that it reads 10.0 (incorrect) or takes away the decimal in
something like 2.0.
Is there any option that will let me type in numbers in any format so that
what I see is what I get?
Thanks!
