The 98.70 that i referred to was the end result i wanted to be displayed to the user. Yes, the correct expanded notation is .0009870.

I'll have to modify the patch to work with lower numbers. Shouldn't the result be .0009870 though? You’re right, I missed the decimal cases because I was only looking at large numbers.

Shouldn’t the result be .0009870 though?

The big picture is lets say I have a number 9.870177632929455E-4, eventually after formatting it should be shown as 98.70. So I need to round up, precision 2 and expand notation. I was trying to include the expand notation in the formatter.as. A couple of things I have noticed so far are: The method that returns this number to me from the sends, with an "E", not an "e". Also my notation is negative, not positive (for this instance). So i may have to come up with a re-worked version of this notation expansion. Hi Matt,
