That would be an idea. I think my reluctance to do that initially was down still not understanding floats and their imprecision. I use bindings for some columns directly into the Core Data INT attribute. I presume I can use a Value Transformer to do this last tweak of the data?
Also, am I right in thinking that a float's imprecision only occurs when trying to use the least significant digit of the float? The one that's rounded up because we've ran out of bits? And therefore all the values before that are expected to be accurate? -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Hyde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 4 November 2008 9:38 AM To: HAMILTON, Steven Subject: Re: FW: NSNumberFormatter: Display INT as decimal Can you not simply cast to float, divide by your scaling factor, and display the result at display time? Then you can just use the normal float formatting rules to display to 2 decimal places (or however many you like) int myAccurateRepresentation = 12789; // in cents float myScaleFactor = 100.0; // number of cents in a dollar float myDisplayValue = (float)myAccurateRepresentation / myScaleFactor; // myDisplayValue == 127.89 If you wanted even more accuracy, simply store a finer grain value in your accurate representation and increase your scale factor appropriately, eg: ... = 1278900; // in hundredths-of-cents ... = 10000.0; // number of hundredths-of-cents in a dollar ... -> 127.89 This e-mail is sent by Suncorp-Metway Limited ABN 66 010 831 722 or one of its related entities "Suncorp".
