A strange format and value ???

[Olivier-Denis]

Hello everyone !
I'm getting a strange behavior when, in the console, the variable is displayed like this :

totalAMOUNT
[1] 11849.67

and with Rmarkdown : display `r totalAMOUNT`
gives : display 1.19567210^{4}

Where does this difference in format and value come from?
Many thanks in advance for any cue !!

Hi @Olivier-Denis,
See here for several ways to fix this behavior of defaulting to scientific notation in R markdown output:

The apparent change in value of totalAMOUNT is NOT expected - looks like there is a bug elswehere in your code.

Thanks @DavoWW.
As usual, the point is to find the good formulation of the problem, and then find the solution given in the forum and not posting it again...
Cheers,
Olivier-Denis

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution?

Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] :information_s…
