Change decimal format for Simple Element?

[cpmcoehyd]

Hi,
On tracing a rule for a particular cell value, it shows that there are 4 decimals for a simple element.
Is it possible, in any way, to change these number of decimals ( to make them three or remove them completely)?
Coz, while calculating, it takes all the decimal values into consideration, even though it doesn't display them.
Can someone help me regarding this??

Thanks

Thanks Alan,
But I've already gone through the two threads not finding any suitable answer. So.. !!

Thanks by the way!!

Strangely enough, TM1 does ship with reference manuals. In the IBM Cognos TM1 Reference Guide you can find information about two functions, ROUND and ROUNDP.

I believe I've understood what you're after, which is to vary the number of decimals in the rules tracer; and the answer is no (or, to be really cautious, I'm not aware of how).
