Changing decimal points in table

I am currently generating tables on proptions and I need to have some cells in the table output to show different number of decimal places of the figures.

To do this, I had to right click on each cell in the table and select 'Format (Data Cell)' and change the decimal places.

Would be lovely if I could select a range of cell and change their decimal places at once, instead of doing it for each cell.

Cheers

You are right that there are times when multiple-cell selection would be really useful when editing tables. I've been annoyed before when I had to make several cells bold, and it took so many mouse clicks to accomplish the task.

You can change the number of decimal points for a whole row or column by formatting the stub or column header. Would that work, or are you not maintaining the same decimal format for an entire row/column?

Much appreciated the reply.

Guess I have to do individually cells when the decimal places are different in the cells in the same row
