Number formatting in Visual Studio

  • This is a simple one, but I'm having a difficult time figuring it out.

    So I have the number 5.78 in one of my columns. I want to format the number so it looks like 6.00. This format (#.'00') gets me to 600. This format (#.".""00") gets me 6.00 but I know it's not right. Why doesn't the decimal show up in the first one??? It's driving me NUTS haha. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • Hi

    Just a thought but can't you do this in your dataset using the CEILING function rather than in SSRS?

  • Hmmm, I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. How do I do this?

  • Ooooh, you mean code it in?? If so, I've never used the CEILING function but I'm sure I can figure it out. Thanks for the tip!
