I would like to change the number of digit of decimal point when I calculate area.

For example Now: 32.456677 Ideal: 32.46

I try to adjust "output field width" and "Precision" These don't work well.

Let me know how to adjust the number of digit of decimal points.

Thank you in advance.

The rounding to two decimal places is only applied after you click "Save" in the Field Calculator. Setting Precision to 2 and Width to something large like 10 should work.

In QGIS Master, you may also have to leave edit mode and/or close and reopen the attribute table. There is also a new round function in Master, see gis.stackexchange.com/questions/47981/… – Andre Joost Jan 30 at 20:43
