# Rounding and precision in indicators

Indicators round fractional results using "Banker's rounding" or mathematical rounding
depending on the indicator Precision.

## Scores below 10,000 {#r_FormulaRounding__section_yg1_sg3_z4b}

When an indicator has a Precision of 0, the indicator rounds the result
to the nearest even, whole number. For example, if an indicator with
Precision 0 calculates the values 7 + (5 / 2), the indicator rounds the
result up to 10. However, if the formula calculates 2 + (5 / 2), the indicator rounds the result
down to 4.

When an indicator has a Precision greater than 0, the indicator rounds
to the nearest decimal point for the given precision. For example, an indicator with
Precision 1 rounds a result of 4.45 as 4.5.

## Scores above 10,000 {#r_FormulaRounding__section_bx4_5g3_z4b}

For indicator scores above 10,000, the score is rounded off and displayed with unit abbreviations as follows:{#r_FormulaRounding__table_ett_rkd_rlb__entry__4}

| Number | Abbreviation | Example, precision=0 | Example, precision=1 |
|-|-|-|-|
| 10,000-999,999 | Nearest thousand, k | 13,291 displayed as 13 k | 13,291 displayed as 13.3 k |
| 1,000,000-999,999,999 | Nearest million, M | 17,824,391 displayed as 18 M | 17,824,391 displayed as 17.8 M |
| 1,000,000,000 | Nearest billion, G | 2,378,425,321 displayed as 2 G | 2,378,425,321 displayed as 2.4 G |
| 1,000,000,000,000 | Nearest trillion, T | 3,456,398,231,094 displayed as 3 T | 3,456,398,231,094 displayed as 3.5 T |
| 1,000,000,000,000,000 | Nearest quadrillion, P (for Peta) | 18,103,456,398,231,094 displayed as 18 P | 18,103,456,398,231,094 displayed as 18.1 P |
| 1,000,000,000,000,000,000+ | Nearest quintillion, E (for Exa) | 7,618,103,456,398,231,094 displayed as 8 E | 7,618,103,456,398,231,094 displayed as 7.6 E |
[Table 1. Display of large numbers]

{#r_FormulaRounding__table_ett_rkd_rlb}  
Note:  
* Unlike numbers under 10,000, large numbers are not rounded off to the nearest even number when precision=0.
* Unit abbreviations are not configurable.
{#r_FormulaRounding__ul_knv_3dj_3yb}

## Exceptions {#r_FormulaRounding__section_omb_zg3_z4b}

Y-axis values plotted on a line or column chart are not rounded. The score and tooltip
displayed when you point to a value on the chart are rounded based on the indicator
Precision.  
Note:  
In formula indicators, rounding applies only to the formula result. Values within the formula are not rounded.
