Hi,

I've a problem with the 'explicit'-command. The inserted values of the calculated equations are displayed as an unusual long number. I just want a number with max three decimal places after the comma.

How can i fix this problem?

Kind regards

In Prime. you can't. Mathcad 15 allows formatting of symbolic results, but Prime does not. Do not be tempted to use the float keyword for this.It does not just affect the precision of the displayed result, but also of all the calculations.

Tanks a lot and sorry for not mention that i use prime.

The float-command makes the formulas shorter, but not that short i want it to be (because of the paperwidth of DIN-A4).

For those, who look in this discussion:

I solved it in an inelegantly way. It seems, that Prime uses the calculated values with a lot (too much) of decimal places after the comma. So, after i finished the complete calculation, i typed every single calculated value again under the corresponding formula with three decimal places after the comma.

That worked for me.

How does float not solve your problems? The number of decimals depends only on the parameter after "float". In fact you can hide this on the left of the worksheets, then you save your manual work.
