To format a variable in a Table, double-click on the variable's name on the table surface (you also can multiple-select variables before double-clicking). When you do, the dialog shown In Figure 6-71 will appear. Use it to make your formatting selections, then click OK. Your Precision, Units, or Scaling choices will change only the display of the variable in the Table. Your choices will not change the way the variable is represented either for graphing or internal calculation purposes.

For example, if a variable takes on a value of 1 million during a simulation, and you've formatted it in (millions), its value will be displayed as 1.00 in the Table. However, for purposes of graphing, or for performing any calculations with the variable, the value of 1 million will be used.
