Applying a Number Format to Table Cells
Use the number format to format the display of a number’s decimal places, thousands
separator, and negative values.
To apply a number format:
1
Select the cell or cells.
2
Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Table button.
3
In the Table inspector, click Format.
4
Choose Number from the Cell Format pop-up menu.
5
To specify how many decimal places to display, use the Decimals field. If a value
contains more decimal places than you specify, the decimal value displayed is rounded,
not truncated. For example, if a cell is formatted to display two decimal places, the
value 3.456 is displayed as 3.46, not 3.45.
