Dear Volunteers, I have a table involving many decimal places: 2005-01-04 -2.13339817688037 2005-01-19 -6.86312349695117 2005-01-22 -4.33662370554386 2005-02-10 -1.40789214441639 2005-02-13 -1.1334121785854 2005-02-19 -1.28411233010119 2005-05-09 -1.6895978161324 2005-05-16 -3.07664523496947 2005-06-17 -1.69904491217129 2005-07-17 -3.44289318667434 2005-08-07 -2.29676435700659 2005-08-10 -1.08915071542227 2005-08-24 -1.8244123081697 2005-09-13 -4.57899147546373 2005-09-15 -3.96591895962343 I used xtable to covert this to form of latex table. The result I have is: 1 & 2005-01-04 & -2.13 \\ 2 & 2005-01-19 & -6.86 \\ 3 & 2005-01-22 & -4.34 \\ 4 & 2005-02-10 & -1.41 \\ 5 & 2005-02-13 & -1.13 \\ 6 & 2005-02-19 & -1.28 \\ 7 & 2005-05-09 & -1.69 \\ 8 & 2005-05-16 & -3.08 \\ 9 & 2005-06-17 & -1.70 \\ 10 & 2005-07-17 & -3.44 \\ 11 & 2005-08-07 & -2.30 \\ 12 & 2005-08-10 & -1.09 \\ 13 & 2005-08-24 & -1.82 \\ 14 & 2005-09-13 & -4.58 \\ 15 & 2005-09-15 & -3.97 \\. It has truncated the long decimal places. Since it is not want I want, I have to copy from the original table and place into xtable. Can you please tell me how to customize the xtable so that I will be responsible for the number of decimal places it displays. Many thanks for your precious time.

[R] customizing the number of decimal places in xtable: RESOLVED
Dear Jeff, Thank you please. I did search before but could not get it resolved. But with your query now, just typed ?xtable as key search word and the first document I opened gave an indication of digits. Without knowing what it was saying, I tried it in my data and it gave the result I have been looking for. xtable(data, digits=12) and I am fine. Thank you so much.
