3420305 - Wrong decimal precision with the table frontend calculation formulas in SAP Analytics Cloud Planning (SAC)

• You have a value with decimal values in cell A and a different value with decimal places in cell B
• You have a table formula / frontend calculation.
• The result value contains more than 7 decimal places and has a very small deviation.

For example, cell A is 143458.59; cell B is 159035.68; the table formula is cell A - cell B; The expected result is -15577.09 but the actual result is -15577.08999999999.

• SAP Analytics Cloud (Enterprise) 

It is related to the JS floating point issue (also mentioned here https://mathjs.org/docs/datatypes/numbers.html#roundoff-errors).

Possible workaround: define the FEC using the ROUND formula, for example, =round((A2-B2),5).

Meanwhile, the SAC development team plan to make code changes to round the result to the expected decimal place.
