Set decimal places in number variables

Currently you can set things like, 5.99 or 4.32 but you can’t show 5.00 by default.

This looks weird when you start adding amounts like #amount + 0.5 which will then look like $5, $5.50, $6, $6.50. It would be nice if instead it showed as $5.00, $5.50, $6.00, $6.50

I think I might have found a workaround, at least for showing “0.00”. So the trick is to not set the variable to 0.00 but to 0.001. It will turn into “0” in the variables panel but in the prototype it shows me “0.00” 

 


This worked like a charm.

This works for me as well! However, only for $0.00.

If you are trying with other amounts, like $400, it doesn’t work. Hopefully Figma will release something soon for this, this year.

UPDATE
Just tried again for the 400 value, and it worked fine. I take back what I said :)

In German we use commas for prices, like 1,99 € instead of 1.99 €. But this doesn’t work with variables. Can you please provide a way to change between , and . format for decimal number variables?

This would be really helpful.

I’m wasting hours of time working around this. It would only have take a few minutes to make this change if I could specify decimal places with number variables.

Agree - to play nice in the world of statistics we need the number formatting that Excell has and have to account for INternational numbers using commas.  At minimal add two decimals ASAP -- in the world of money and aligning the decimals if you don’t show 00 in a column correctly.
