Dear ScooterSoftware Support,
In Beyond Compare (BC) in a Rules-Based comparsion why do I lose the decimal point, this means that values which are the same numerically are shown to be different numerically rather than in display only.
For example, thing of a monetary amount
Numerically,
File A = File B
$10 = $10.00
Textually they are different, so it could be highlighted on that basis. But BC does not do either. It converts the File B value with the decimal point to a number without the decimal point. Now, we get,
$10 compared to $1000.
Now they are shown not to be the same, but they in fact should be at least numerically. Tolerance also don't work in this case.
Please could you advise on how I can manage this correctly? What mistakes do I have in my configuration?
(PS - I have attached example files to this thread.)
Thanks,
K.
