Hi Folks,

I have a problem creating rounded numbers before the decimal sign ... though I did it once before I can't remember nor figure out, how this works :(

What I want is:

Given Number: 120000
Displayed: 120.0

I'm using \numprint, but can only round after a decimal sign :(

Thank you very much for any help !!!

Do you want "negative" decimal places, or perhaps you want significant figures? It the later, you could use siunitx to do it.

Sry, I don't really get what you mean ^^

I need to display the numbers in a shorter form in a tabular, where the information is given "all numbers in thousand" ...

Again an example:

Inside the LaTeX document I give a number like: 23560
In the PDF file it should show: 23.6

Hi,

first thing that comes to my mind (I haven't done any tests): use the fltpoint package (for example) to divide numbers by 1000 and then round them.
