Hello, I'm having an issue with Ignition reporting not following my number format for a couple of columns that have floating point values from a database. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/8/5852e6544c133b1874da77ec0ba61c33d69d7f42.png) It seems to not be applying the number format to some of the gray rows as the white rows are not having this issue. The last 2 columns are the ones I'm referring to. This is also my number format pattern: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/e/7e8e74effa0721861c38b8480a25a2f721063881.png) Please let me know if I left out any other critical information for this issue. Thank you! ---

Hi @daniel.diaz, welcome to the Forums. This is because you're using Alternate row versioning and the Alternate version does not have the number format applied. What I would do, is remove the alternate row version, apply all your formatting to the Standard row, then add the Alternate version so it inherits all formatting from the Standard row. ---

Hey thanks for the help, but currently I think when this report was made they used standard? I might be misunderstanding this but this is what I see: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/7/3792723784d5570ab0b02eafae21fbba7ac3dec1.png) Is there another set of properties I may be missing? ---

That won't be enough to tell. You need to interact with the table and change the row versioning. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/e/fe9307dd7e2607bb974d01391521d0bb4e7c0d66.png) Then the property tree will change: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/5/6590e279baa9292ce3047a3c560124095f92358e.png) ---

Seems that the report isn't holding my changes. ---

No, I've never had that issue. You might need to press Enter or click away from some property fields for them to stick.
