Notes:
Challenge of figuring out dynamically how many decimal points to show:
1. Max of 5.
2. Norm of 2.
3. Need to make everything follow suite per page on per column.
4. Already have a special dewy decimal formatting on a one by one basis.
5. Database stores in 5.
6. Most math is done on the database side or through output loops.
7. Column values need to be known before any output starts.
8. I’m trying to make things (reports & numbers) as slim as possible.
9. It would be easy to force all to 5, 4, 3, or 2 by using a decimal setting on a corp level.
10. It forced to a certain level, a flag may be needed for values that exceed the formatting. Ex: $ 45.015. In order to line up the decimal, the flag would need to be on the left or in a different column.
11. It is possible to split a single number into three pieces and format on an individual basis.
a. Main number – format right
b. Decimal
c. Random cents left
12. It is possible to take all 5 digits and check (loop) to see if more than 2 or needed. Hold the highest number in a master format value. Only replace the value if a higher number is needed. If a 5 is ever reached, break the loop and force everything to 5 decimals.
