# Rounding Decimals

You'll need to take a different approach depending on where in your report you'd like to round.

## Rounding in Text Field

* Select your text field
* Go to **Properties > Text Field > Pattern**
* Click the pencil icon
* Select **Number**
* Select the first option in the list of number formats
* Adjust the number of "#"s in the Pattern field to control how many decimals to display in your text field.

## Rounding in a Chart Data Label

To round your data labels:

* Double-click on your chart to open the Chart Wizard
* First, you’ll want to **copy the expression in the value field** on the left.
* Next, locate the **label field** on the right, and click the 3 dots to the right of the field to open the expression editor.
* Enter the following expression:

```
new DecimalFormat("#,###.#").format(paste the expression from your value field)
```

This command will format your decimal number. The command above tells JSS to round your number to 1 decimal place (and insert a comma if your number is 1,000+).

If you don’t want to show any decimals, enter this:

```
new DecimalFormat("#,###").format(paste the expression from your value field)
```

If you want to display two decimals, enter this:

```
new DecimalFormat("#,###.##").format(paste the expression from your value field)
```

You get the idea.
