13 decimal places in an approval flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hello all

 

I am using an approval flow to approve purchase requisitions. The total requisition value is a calculated field in my sharepoint list.

 

However in the approval email that gets sent when the approval is running the total cost is showing with 13 decimal places.

 

In the "start and await for approval" part of the flow, how do I make this just 2 decimal places.

 

All help appreciated. Thanks

    Hi @denz1968 

     

    Add a compose and map your calculated value under the compose. Then next step use the compose for formatting the number. Finally you can map the output of the Format number step in your email.

    Hi @denz1968 

     

    Try map to a compose action step and pass the compose output to format.

    That keeps giving flow run fails

     

    Im guessing from what I read a calculated value isn't a number, so therefore I cant format it as a number??
