Add decimal/significant digits setting for formulas

[Stephen_Li]

Problem
I have a formula field that takes a custom number field (formatted as % with 0 decimals). I then have a formula field that converts this % to hours by multiplying by an integer. I’ve found that that field is rounding the results to the nearest whole number, which is causing some inaccuracies at the margins.

Solution Ideas
The simplest solution (for me) would be to treat % as numbers with 2(+) significant digits. Alternatively (and maybe more universally helpful), having a setting in the formula column for decimals/significant digits (instead of relying on the combination of those settings from each number field) would be helpful.

See more context in this old thread:

Any way to set the number of significant digits on a custom field with formula calculation?

I have a custom field that utilizes a formula to calculate the quantity of something. I would like the field to display only a whole number rather than with 2 significant digits (14 rather than 14.00). You can do this when creating a ‘normal’ custom field, but it appears it is not possible when you utilize a formula. Any recommendation on how to achieve this? Thanks in advance, Nick
