Histogram summary significant digits

RC202602061219

Is there a way to control the significant digits in the summary properties box (mean etc) of a histogram?

I think I have done this in the past but can't remember how.

    In current versions it is limited to 4 significant digits (if I go back a while it used to be 6 digits). I have a CCR (#3303973) asking for control over the formatting (primarily suffix or engineering format) but also the number of digits. In practice, 4 significant digits is likely to be enough unless you have a very large number of samples (resolving it so that it is stable at more than 4 digits is likely to need lots of samples).

    Regards,

    Andrew

    OK thanks. It is showing 6 digits with my version (I23.1 ISR16.19) which is too many as you say.
