You probably think in terms of the format in a famous spreadsheet
software. Use Stata`s -round()- function to get what you want:
*************
di %4.1f .015
di %4.2f .015
di %03.2f round(.015,.01)
*************

Betreff: st: Fixed format question
For a report I need to have all numbers rounded and formatted to 2 decimal
places. I expected
that for var1 = .015 formatted to 2 decimal places, .02 would be shown.
However, applying
"format var1 %4.2f" and displaying var1 shows .01.
As an analogue, I tried the following: var2=.15, to which I applied
"format var2 %4.1". The
resulting display is ".2".
Any hints about how to achieve my desired result would be much
appreciated.
Many thanks.
Bob
