When I run a P&L report that also shows % of total income, it shows the % to a ridiculous 5 decimal places! How do I reduce this to a sensible 1 or even 2 places please?

Hello Kevin197, thanks for your reply. In the Profit and Loss% of Total Income Report there is not a way to change the percentage to round down to 1 or 2 decimals. You have the option of going to customise in the top right of that report>number format>tick in without pence. This will round the percentages.

We appreciate this may not work for what you want and we can certainly pass on your feedback(it is worth adding feedback in the cog in the top right of QuickBooks as well)

Any questions at all let us know, we'd be happy to help in any way we can.

Hello Kevin197, thanks for posting on the Community page, if you go to the main cog wheel>account and settingsd>advanced> other preferences- number format you can select which format you want in there.

Thank you Ashleigh1, but unfortunately all that does is offer different formats for displaying numbers, it does not alter the number of decimal places that the percentages are shown as. Just to clarify, right now for example the percentage shows as 9.12345%, rather than the more practical 9.1%, or even 9.12%. How can I alter this please?
