N Format

 

This format option will display numerical values with the number of significant figures specified with the digits option.  The number of significant figures can be an integer between 0 and 9 or the letter 'M' which indicates the maximum number of significant figures.  The abbreviation shown in the Variable Information dialog and elsewhere for this format option is N.  If, for example, the value is 123.4567, this value will appear as 123 when displayed with format N3 and 123.5 when displayed with format N 4.  Values greater than 1E6 or less than 1E-6 are displayed in E format with the specified number of significant figures.
