I am using kable with the knit to Word functionality at work. I find that I often have simple tables with counts as the first column and then a few columns with proportions. I'd like the count column to be rounded to the nearest digit and the other columns to the nearest hundredth. I've tried using the digits = c(0,2,2) argument within the kable() command, but it still displays two digits for the count, even though it is rounding to the nearest digit.
I do not see the problem here.
