 * Hello again.
 * I use PREC to display output with 2 decimal places. No problem there.
 * However, I have another equation field that uses this same PREC formatted result
   and, unfortunately, to get an accurate output I can’t use PREC for the equation.
 * Is there a way to only apply PREC for display purposes and exclude it for another
   calculation?
 * Thank you

 * Hello [@anefarious1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anefarious1/)
 * No, I’m sorry, the field’s value would be the equation’s result.
 * The alternative would be to insert an additional calculated field in the form
   configured as hidden (for example, the fieldname1). It would contain the equation
   without PREC operation. And the visible field with the equation `PREC(fieldname1,2)`
 * The second field would not be used in other equations.
 * Best regards.
