I have a table with a column of numbers with different amounts of decimal
places, some of which have footnotes. I would like to align them by their
decimal places, but since the number of figures before & after their
decimal
places are not consistent, I cannot figure out a way to do this. Is there
a
way to align by an assigned character?
