Increasing the number of decimal places will allow you to see all the digits. For example, if you have a table in an ArcSDE geodatabase containing a field of type double with a scale of eight, the last two digits are dropped off because the Table window only displays six decimal places by default.

Since six is the default number of decimal places to display in the Table window, you may need to increase this value to see the full number. Label1.Text num.ToString('n') will output 345.68 345.6 will output 345.60 Dim num As Double 345. Add a number after the 'n' for the number of decimal places.

These are special characters for changing the appearance of all or part of your labels. In addition to inserting characters and scripting functions, you can use ArcGIS formatting tags in label expressions. If you find that numeric values are being cut off or rounded in the table, right-click the field, click Properties, then review the number formatting. The 'n' formatting argument in the ToString method will convert and round a number to the default number of 2 decimal places. By right clicking the class labels and choosing format labels (Figure 4) you can specify what kind of number the labels are (numeric, percentage, rage, direction, etc.) and then open up the numeric settings (Figure 5) and decrease the number of decimal places. You can use label expressions to adjust the formatting of your labels. If you add a table to the layout of your map, the numeric formatting will be honored. Setting a numeric field to be a percentage, direction, or currency value immediately gives context to the number and makes its value easy to understand and read. Formatting a numeric field is one way to make it easier to work with your attribute information.
