1. Create a story and add a tableAdd multiple calculations to the table (such as cumulative sum)
2. In the formatting tab, select the number of decimal places for one of the sumsNote that it changes it for all sums - not just the one selected.

This happens because when sums are added they are linked to each other by default.  In order to set the decimal places individually you need to unlink them from the data cells.
