I am mail merging from Excel and the result should have only 1 decimal but
looks like this:
Weight (kg): 79.200000000000003

Previous discussions on this board suggested switches, here is what I came
up with:
Weight (kg): { MERGEFIELD Weight /#"0.0")

It does not change the formatting. What am I not seeing?

Thanks.

Hi TC,

It's because you've used a '/' instead of '\'. The double quotes don't help either. Try:
{MERGEFIELD Weight \# 0.0}
