Display CR values as scientific notation


I have a series of very small positive and negative values stored in oracle which I am attempting to display in crystal reports. Crystal is displaying all the values as 0. However if I turn the max decimal places on I will see some values as 0.00...00XY.

I would like these values simply displayed as scientific notation with something like 1.2E-12.

It seems crystal automatically converts very large values to SN, but not very small values?


Solution

  • This is not possible so I went and created a view instead for each needed table. Kind of a dumb solution, but it seems the only way possible.
