How to stop rounding in PA Indicators

[maggieo]

Is there a way to stop rounding in PA?  I understand that I can select the precision, but I still don't want any rounding on some of indicators.

Example: Service availability is 99.9989

If I select 2 decimal points, the system automatically rounds it to 100.00% but my audience still wants to know that it wasn't 100% attainment. Is there a way to do this?

Yes, there is a way to display the exact value without rounding in Performance Analytics (PA) . You can achieve this by using a combination of the "Data Calculation" and "Data Formatter" options in the widget configuration.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Open the widget you want to configure in PA.

2. In the "Data Calculation" tab, select the indicator you want to display without rounding.

3. In the "Data Formatter" tab, select "Fixed decimal places" and set the precision to the number of decimal places you want to display. For example, if you want to display 4 decimal places, set the precision to "4".

4. Under "Advanced Formatting Options", select "Suppress trailing zeros" and "Suppress zero values".

5. Save the widget configuration.

This configuration will ensure that the exact value of the indicator is displayed without rounding or trailing zeros. If the value is zero, it will not be displayed at all.

Note that this configuration applies to the specific widget you configure it on. If you have multiple widgets that display the same indicator, you will need to configure each widget individually.

@Syedmd08 , Thank you for your quick reply. On step 2 you indicated to go to the data calculation tab on the widget....I'm not seeing this tab. Can you please add a screenshot, or how I can add it to the widget? Thanks, I really appreciate your help

Try this instead of that method

Instead of using the "Percentage" data type, you can use the "Decimal" data type for your Service availability indicator. This will allow you to display the actual value without any rounding.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your Service availability indicator in the PA dashboard.
2. Click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the widget to access the widget configuration menu.
3. In the widget configuration menu, select the "Data" tab.
4. Under "Data source", select the table that contains the Service availability data.
5. Under "Value type", select "Decimal" instead of "Percentage".
6. Save the changes to the widget configuration.

After completing these steps, your Service availability indicator will display the actual value without any rounding.

@Syedmd08 , I went to the table and I see that the type is Decimal.  Is there something I can change here?
