I'm embarrassed to admit this... Considering how long I've used LV, I've never really had a good grasp of the format specifiers. I usually just beat my head against the wall until I get what I want. My forehead can take no more today, as it is still tender after last night's unrelated head banging. I need to move on.
Is there a way to format the display of a numeric control like this 7.12E+07 (as opposed to 7.12E+7).
I'd rather not use a string control.

This has come up before and the only solution was to use a string indicator 😞

I saw that, but it appeared that was an issue for formatting the string with a padded 0 + exponent value and the conversion to numeric was for adding a value... If it really can't be done, that's probably why it was in a string to begin with and going back to a string in the end.
