How to display all significant figures?

(0) ShareShare

Does anyone know how to display 321.234567891234 in a text box with all significant figures?

According to this post by @AndyPennell, PowerApps does its very best to reproduce Excel (including bugs) however Excel clearly shows all significant figures but PowerApps does not.  If this is true, then this makes PowerApps useless for a lot of scientific work.

Many thanks.

    You cannot. PowerApps numbers are limited to the range of values supported by Javascript, and your example exceeds the accuracy limits of same. Excel has a much richer numeric type system.

    Thank you for the reply.

    It would be useful to have in the documentation of PowerApps details of such limitations.

    Indeed, I opened a Document bug to address this when the subject came up last, but it hasn't been fixed yet.
