I have what I expect is an easy question.  I have not used SPSS for many years.  I have version 17 at this point and am beginning to use it with the other packages I use as well.  I messed a bit with the output options settings but have not hit the setting that removed all of the scientific notation from being displayed in output and data screens.  I move data between programs a bit and this is something I have not been able to find the solution to intuitively here.  How do I set these to as something like rounded to 3 decimal places in SPSS by default?

We're a very broad-minded list, where everything dealing with SPSS,
most questions about statistics, and even a many tangentially related
items, are welcomed.

But, though I haven't polled the list membership, I think this should
be out of bounds for SPSSX-L.  I'll bet SAS-L won't like it much, either.

Hi Dale,

I am a new user too. Masters here will respond you better but I think in variable view in menu, if you hit the decimal 2 for decimal 3, it rounds it by default.

Is there a similar option for large numbers?  I have a custom table where I specify dollar formats, and some of the large numbers always come out in exponential notation.

 

 

CTABLES

  /VLABELS VARIABLES=OUTCNTM OUTBALM BAL3060M BAL90PM BALCURM yrmonth DISPLAY=DEFAULT

  /TABLE yrmonth BY

          OUTCNTM      [SUM COMMA40.0] +

          OUTBALM       [SUM DOLLAR40.2] +

          BAL3060M     [SUM DOLLAR40.2] +

          BAL90PM       [SUM DOLLAR40.2] +

          BALCURM       [SUM DOLLAR40.2]

  /CATEGORIES VARIABLES=yrmonth ORDER=A KEY=VALUE EMPTY=EXCLUDE.

 

 

 

		OUTCNTM	OUTBALM	BAL3060M	BAL90PM	BALCURM
		Sum	Sum	Sum	Sum	Sum
yrmonth	200902	609,763	$1.64E9	$61,873,752.67	$54,652,406.40	$1.52E9

 

 

The OUTBALM field in the table above reads: $1.64E9, but what I would like to be displayed is: $1,636,232,200.81.

I tried the Options>output settings and the setting decimals to 3 places.  I was getting it in the output and in the datasheet as well as I recall.  It was when I was importing data sets.
