    Red face How do I change the area calculation to be rounded to a square foot?

    The area in my schedule table is rounded to the nearest one hundredth (i.e. 100.00 sq ft) . I need it to be rounded to the nearest sq ft (i.e. 100 sq ft.)

    Any suggestions?

    I already have the area calculated from the data format, but I need it rounded to the nearest foot. It is currently 100.00 sq ft and I need it 100 sq ft. Suggestions?

    Go Format>Style Manager>Documentation Objects>Property Data Formats.
    Copy the "Area" data format and rename "AMartinArea".
    Over on the right-hand side of the dialog box you will see the Precission
    drop down box. Change from 0.00 to 0
    Back in your schedule change the data format in the column that displays
    your area to "AMartinArea".
