Export Current View in Q+S to get More Decimal Places

A common question we see from our users running Scaffold Q+S is "why can't I see more decimal places for the display types in the Samples View?"

For example, when viewing iTRAQ data, you might have a Reference category and one Treatment category, and the values for Log2(Fold Change) are something like 1.6, 3.2, or 0.8. This often is a rounded value, and if you hover over the value you will see a tooltip with the more precise value.

To export these values for further computation, you can use the Current View Export from Export > To Excel > Current View...

This will yield values like 1.5887, 3.2122, or 0.7696.

If you have any other questions about how Scaffold does rounding or exports values, please contact us. Or, if you have any ideas on how to improve Scaffold, please let us know. We are always on the look out for suggestions!
