| Building a Chart > Using Custom Values Formatting > Scientific Notation Format |
Use the ScientificObject to determine how this ValueFormat appears. The Scientific format converts values to scientific notation and places an E in front of the exponent. The default format code is:
0.00E+00
· Use the DecimalPlaces property to set the maximum number of decimal places to display.
· Use the UseSmallExponent property to display the exponent as a superscript without the E/e.
· Multipliers, commas and percent signs are ignored with Scientific notation.
Notes
· With scientific notation, using an E- or e- converts values to scientific notation and places a minus sign in front of negative exponents. Using E+ or e+ converts values to scientific notation, places a minus sign in front of negative exponents, and a plus sign in front of positive exponents.
· Each custom format string can have up to 3 sections (not including sections for specific ranges)- one each for positive values, negative values and zeros, in that order. Each section in the string should be separated by a semi-colon.
