Available options are:
Best Lets JMP consider the precision of each cell value and select the best way to show it. By
default, the physical width of the column is 10 characters. You can increase the column width to
show large values with many decimal places by typing the number of characters needed in the
Width text box found in the Column Info window.
Fixed Dec Displays all column values rounded to the number of decimal places you specify. You
can set the number of decimal places to zero to see only whole numbers. Type the number of
decimal places you want JMP to display into the Dec text box in the Column Info window.
Percent Multiplies numeric values by 100 and displays the result followed by a percent sign.
PValue Displays probability values. It has a default width of six and shows four decimal places.
If a number is less than 0.0001, the number is displayed as m/d/y, the cell value will be displayed as 02/13/1943. As shown in
Figure 3.19, you can leave the date values displayed as described above, or select one of these
formats: (The examples below show formats for reading or displaying the date, December 31,
2004. Its unformatted (numeric) value is 3,187,296,600.)
