Hi. I’m trying to scale a value for setting high level alarm , but i get alot of decimals when trying to enter a value (Numeric entry field). Is there a way to round the value to only 2 decimal places? Raw low: 0 Raw high: 65535 Scaled low: 0 Scaled high: 400 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/9/79edfac2cf90fb277087c7d5f8ef5f460bce48e5.png) ---

I believe it’s going to follow whatever the value is. Maybe try a format transform on the value? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/8/086dd669d8af24c0944eac66c5e2597818c96f63.png) ---

If i add a transform the binding can’t be bidirectional.
