I've a rounding issue when some records in the json dataSource have sum 0 (es +100, -100): the aggreagate value looks like '3.183231e-12' intead of 0.
I found in the forum a similar issue Rounding issue and data parsing' that you solved in 2.7.18 but, apparenlty the fix didn't solve mine:
Here's a JSFiddle.
I know that I've to possible workaround:
- define a formatting rule to fix the decimal places.
- override the cell content in the CustomizeCell events.
The first solution is not feasible (I should force every client to define the formatting rule).
May be I could use the second solution but I think it would be cleaner if you fix the issue your side.
Thank you!

Hi,
I noticed that the mantissa issue is not completely solved.
I updated the previous JSFiddle, in which I changed only the numbers (value 0.1 is now set to 300.3 and value 0.6 is now set to 400.4). As you can see the issue is still there.
Thank you!

Hello, Ilaria,
Thank you for your feedback.
We would like to kindly explain that further fixes are not possible due to the specific of the JavaScript and machine computing in general. For now, our team does not see any good solution for such situations. Detailed information about the described problem and its reasons can be found by the following link: https://0.30000000000000004.com/.
We suggest using maxDecimalPlaces property of the format object in order to round off incorrectly calculated totals. Please check out an example we have prepared for you.
More information about the format object and its properties can be found following the link: Format Object.
We hope it works for you.
Kind regards,
Illia
