FR 9.3.1 - Show point values doesn't work properly

Question

Greetings,
I'm experiencing a strange trouble with the show point values function in charts like Bar, Line or Combo Chart types.
The values diplayed are rounded to the nearest value, even if the grid show decimal values.
I didn't find any solution to this, maybe anyone knows how to fix it?
Thank you very much for your support.

There is a work around, note that this is not supported/approved by Oracle as it involves actually changing the report xml. So at your own risk:
# You need to export the FR reports;
# Then open in a text editor;
# Search for the current format (it should be '%,d', with the single quotes);
# Replace with the format you want, for example to get one decimal place with 000's separator '%,8.1f'
Formatting types/descriptions:
bq. %g example 1234.456 \\ %f example 1234.46 \\ %,f example 1,234.46 \\ %d                example 1234 \\ %,d                example 1,234 \\ %8.1f                example 1234.5 \\ %08.1f           example 001234.5 \\ cost=$%,.1fM     example Cost=$1,234.5M
To add this for the second Y axis, you actually need to do more work:
# Within the exported .DES file, Search for <CHARTOBJECT
# Then search for OBJECT_WIDTH (There are OBJECT_WIDTH parameters for objects other than charts, which is why we start at the Chart section first.)
# 1.Add the following parameters after OBJECT_WIDTH: \\          OTHERPROPERTIES=”RightFormat=(FLOAT, '%,8.1f')” \\          *** IMPORTANT: The %,8.1f is surrounded by single quotes;
