the default is "FLOAT" with no number after it, that will have it display up to 12 digits, (same as FLOAT 12)

so whats the difference between float and floating decimal?

when i put it to float 12 it still rounds the damn thing to the nearest tenth. how do i stop it from rounding to the nearest tenth???

Put it on Fix12 and go down more, then set the Exact/Approx option to EXACT.
