Hi saman, I think you are looking for the “Edit Color Legend Properties” and need to figure out the correct format string. I can’t figure out how to remove the sign on the exponent, but could get rid of the extra zero using ‘g’ (“%1.g”).
I _believe_ that ParaView is using python to do the string formatting, which nominally follows C’s [printf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf_format_string). If you can figure out the correct format string, you could do what you want. I believe the f, F, e, E format flags all have a minimum of 2 digits in the exponent, so I think ‘g’ is what you want.

hello,
using the following format, use f instead of e and g.
