Scientific notation? #66

Open znd4 opened 6 years ago

znd4 commented 6 years ago

It would be nice to have scientific notation (maybe something that could be toggled on and off)

jjuback commented 6 years ago

There is now a setting that lets you specify a .NET-style format string for numbers: csv-preview.numberFormat. It defaults to g2, which uses fixed-point or scientific notation, whichever is more compact. You can also use the e format to force scientific notation everywhere. If present, the digit refers to the number of significant digits.

I just learned that we don't support the e format for scientific notation. See this page for information on supported formats.

Please, fix this. Adding support to scientific notation is not so hard..

Any update on this? I've noticed that scientific notation does not show up correctly when I open excel files.
