Formula error in inventory (imported cvs) when computing unit price.
COST column is specified as currency ($) and QTY column is integer 2 numeric.

U/PRICE column contains formula as follows: COST/QTY
(Result should be $ but displays as integer 2

Record from db is COST OF $1.00 divided by QTY OF 10 = U/PRICE BLANK INSTEAD OF $.10

THANKS

If the result should be dollars in the column, but instead it’s an integer, you should change the format to currency.

This is a formula where the output is set to integers, so in the last row, it rounds .10 down to 0.

But if you set the format to “Currency”—
