Hi,

Ok, I agree that it should be up to the user to decide this through a report
table setting.
Sorry, wasn't thinking of indicators here, just data element reports.
Anyway, it should be up to the user.

Note that when designing reports in iReport or BIRT it takes a lot of extra
time to add formatting to every individual field in the report to show no
decimals for data element values.
It just looks so stupid to have all the X.0 values.

Agree that formatting in pivot tables is a lot easier.
