| SetPrecision function |
| Format |
SetPrecision(expression;precision) |
| Parameters |
| expression - any numeric expression |
| precision - any number or numeric expression |
| Data type returned |
| number |
| Description |
| Computes any math functions contained within expression that support extended precision to precision decimal places (up to 400). All functions except the trigonometric functions support extended precision. This function doesn't perform a truncation: constant numbers are left at the precision in which they were entered. |
| Examples |
| SetPrecision(5/9;30) returns 0.555555555555555555555555555556. |
| SetPrecision(If(field1>5;Exp(50);Average(5/9;1/7;5/7));25) returns either |
| 5184705528587072464087.4533229334853848274691006 if field1 > 5, or |
| 0.4708994708994708994708995 if field1 <= 5. |
