Hello, I’m having an issue when editing the cell of a power table where a large number reverts to scientific notation. Anything under 7 characters will display normally, where numbers 8 characters and up will display in scientific notation. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Thank you. ---

I’m not seeing the same behavior. What datatype are you using? As a side note, it may also help to give Ignition and Java versions. ---

Checked the columns number format property in the table customizer? If set correctly, try change it to see if this has any effect.
