Dear Mathgroup, I have a list "data" with 15 couples of numbers. data = {{11111.222223333344444, 0.0000000000000005}, {11111.2222233333, 0.00000000005}, {11111.22222, 0.000005}, {11.2233, 0.00005}, {11.223300000000, 0.0000000000005} , {11.2233000000000000000, 0.00000000000000000005}, {1234000., 0.5}, {1.234, 0.0005}, {1234000.00005, 0.000005}, {1234000000.000054321, 0.0000000005}, {0.00001234, 0.000000005}, {0.00012340000000000, 0.00000000000000005}, { 1.0*1020, 0.5}, { 100000000000000000000., 0.5}, {1.0*103, 0.5}} I need to prepare a Table like the following TableForm[Table[{i, NumberForm[data[[i, 1]], 20], Precision[data[[i, 1]]], -Log[10, data[[i, 2]]/data[[i, 1]] ], Accuracy[data[[i, 1]]], -Log[10, data[[i, 2]]] }, {i, 1, Length[data]}], TableHeadings -> {{}, {"i", "x", "Precision[x]", "-Log[10,Abs[err/x]]", "Accuracy[x]", "-Log[10,Abs[x]]",}}] You can observe that the second column "x" shows the data[[i,1]]. Unfortunately, in some cases (i=5,7,9,10,12,13,14,15), the printed value is not EXACTLY equal to the corresponding value in "data" for example data[[5,1]]= 11.223300000000 is printed as 11.2233 data[[7,1]]= 1234000. is printed as 1.234*10^6 Can you teach me how to obtain in the Table the same format as in "data"? I have tried without success various alternative options (ScientificForm, AccountingForm, PaddedForm,...). Some of them work, but not in every case.
