Troubleshooting
Problem
Decimal values are being saved as scientific notation when saving as a CSV file. The decimals that were in scientific notation had more than 4 decimal places. Impromptu displays values with more than 4 decimal places in scientific notation by default. Client was able to reformat the column in the report to show the number in decimal format, but when the report is saved as a CSV file, the formatting is not saved.
