Hi Lars,

Thanks for this. Can this also be applied to the data entry screen and data set 
reports? If you consider a use case that deals with data ranging from 0 - 1. 
rounding up or down makes the difference quite significant. 

This would be a very useful function and would like to request extending beyond 
just the pivot table.

Regards,

Busoye
