# Set Decimal Places for Numbers in Dashboard Charts, Tables, and Metrics

1. Edit or create a dashboard.
2. Edit a dashboard widget, or add one by clicking **\+ Widget**.
3. For Decimal Places, select a number from 0 through 5. To let Salesforce set the decimal precision, select**Automatic**. Some widgets, such as donut charts, have the option to display percentages. Setting decimal places doesn’t change how many decimal places appear after these percentages.
4. Click **Update**. (If you're adding a widget, click **Add**.)
5. Click **Save**.

The dashboard widget now displays up to 5 decimal places.

Some charts may display shortened numbers with a unit symbol.
