Is there a concise term or abbreviation for "Decimal Places"?
I have a table that I'm trying to squeeze in information and the column header is wider than the information it contains.
Context:
Value Decimal Places <---too long!
_____________________________________
10.12 2
1.123 3
I've considered precision, but it has another meaning in the context of the table. At this stage, the best I've come up with is decimals.
Note: I need to explicitly state the number of decimals.

If there is concern about ambiguity, it is always appropriate to provide a key describing the labels for clarity.
