A user can round the output number to the specified decimal place. For example, to round the output (e.g.: 23.67746082) of a particular column to 2 decimal places,select round to decimal place as 2 from the drop down list.
A user can adjust the column width by entering the required width (e.g.: 50 or 80 or 100 etc) in the text box.
This option allows a user to define the particular column’s data type as either ‘text’ or ‘float’. This can be selected from the drop down list.
Once done to accept all the modification done, the user can click on the ‘Save’ button.
