Formatting each column of an array of floating point numbers dynamically

[renault]

Hello  all,  once again back with a question.

I have to format each of a 2D array of floating point numbers (the array  is obtained from a file of arbitrary column data of floating point numbers) dynamically. please help me out with a vi to explain this more clearly.

 thanks in advance

 regards

Format how? Is it from DBL to string, each element differently, convert all to to one format and then convert all to a different format or what?

You cannot use a different format for each column of a 2D array. In an array, all the elements are identical, except their value.
If you want to have a different display, for instance a different number of sign ificant digits, you should use a table instead.
See the attached vi that shows how to convert a 2D array to a 2D string table, with a different digit number in each column.
