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.
