Home → Techniques and Tips → @RISK Simulation: Numerical Results → Detailed Statistics with More Than Seven Significant Digits?
Applies to: @RISK 5.x–7.x
The Detailed Statistics window shows only seven significant digits, and if I choose Report in Excel I again get only seven significant digits. Is there any way to get more precision?
First, consider that these statistics are the result of a stochastic process, and it's highly unlikely that so many significant digits are meaningful. This is why @RISK rounds its results even though it actually does the calculations in full double precision.
But if you truly want to see more significant digits, you can get them from the @RISK statistics functions. These functions, including RiskMean( ) and RiskStdDev( ), return full double precision. You can put them in your worksheet. If you have a whole lot of them, for greater efficiency you could call them from a macro that you set to execute automatically at the end of simulation.
