Syntax for adding decimals to a field used in formula??

Experts:

This formula:
"Slope = "& (Sum ({@Slope-DrugCollections}, {'Drug_Collections_'.ClientCode}))

Give me this:
Slope = 0.00

I need this:
Slope = 0.001952381

What syntax do i use to allow for the field to display its many decimals.....?

Thanks

you would change the decimal places in the formatting of the field. Right click the field and pick format field. Click the number tab and pick customize.

I need to use SYNTAX.... the field is inside a formula...
are you actually seeing 0.00 in the report? I am not sure how you are seeing 0.00
The data for this formula::

@Slope-DrugCollections}

Looks like this:
0.001952381

BUT, when I place thie formula within a Formula it defaults to displaying like THIS:
0.00

SO....I need to know the SYNTAX to convert it to display multiple decimals...which is its true state.
