Numbers from my data are small.

I applied “Rescale to Data Range” and it showed as attached.

**What I want is "I do not want the rounded numbers for top and bottom values."**

I also applied “Rescale to Custom Data Range”, but it didn’t work.

Is there any tip for this?

Thanks!

Welcome ParaView, @Hokon_Kim

You can change the formatting of the minimum and maximum numbers using the color legend properties. In the _Color Map Editor_, click the button in the upper right corner to open the _Edit Color Legend Properties_ dialog. Change the **Range Label Format** to your desired C-style format string.
