I have a SQLTag with the raw value of 2537, data type Float4.  
It has a scaling of: Raw high = 100 Scaled High = 1, clamp mode = none  
Format string is ##.# KV

looking at the tags Browser, it shows a value of 25.4

when I display in on a screen using it’s value and format string it shows as 25.  
eg:numberFomat(path\_to\_tag.value, path\_to\_tag.format)

What happened to the decimal point?

What component and what property are you using for display. It could be possible you are binding that expression to an integer property.

Can you post an example of the problem? For example, you can export a window.
