Scientific notation

Is possible to replace scientific notations with a number even if it cannot be displayed in full e.g. have 0.000 rather than the scientific notation and then just at an * in with a corresponding scientific notation at the bottom of the table?

This would save time having to convert them to numbers when the data is exported.

i'm not completely sure if you're refering to the data, or if you're referring to the results ... but you can specify that results should be formatted to a number of decimal places (i.e. 3) in the 1.8.4

I am referring to the results. I have that setting in place already, but sometimes the output will still come back as a scientific notation, rather than rounded to 3 points after the decimal.

see the two following screenshots ... when placed in 'significant figures' you get one behaviour, and when placed in 'decimal places' you get the other. i'm puzzled that this isn't working for you.

Thanks Jonathon. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Jamovi and it now seems to work.
