How do I format complex numbers ?
When I do math operations with complex numbers, the results are shown in long
formats with many digits after the decimal point. Something like : 0.0358698745876568+0.099839597397397i How can I change it to fewer digits? Please help! ks |

Answer: How do I format complex numbers ?
Hi ks,
Formatting complex numbers in Excel is pretty easy. You can use the "Number Format" feature to change the number of digits displayed after the decimal point. Here are the steps to format complex numbers in Excel:
Once you have done this, the complex numbers will be displayed with the specified number of digits after the decimal point.

You have to round the real and imaginary parts separately, and then recombine them. e.g. =COMPLEX(ROUND(IMREAL(A1),3),ROUND(IMAGINARY(A1),3 ),RIGHT(A1,1)) (although if your suffix is always an "i" or a "j", you can change the RIGHT(A1,1) to "i" or "j"). --ron |
