Anyone know if its possible? I think that it would be a nice feature to see progress at decimal level so we can easier track the improvements in our training.

It is available in the FIT file and one free platform that shows it with decimals is Runalyze:
2 decimal points is probably a false level of precision, but 1 decimal place would at least give some good context if you were bouncing between say, 48.4 and 48.6 from run to run.
I have solved my problem with the decimals. You can leave the thread ;)
Do you know what the data field is called in the .FIT files? And how the data is stored in the files? Maybe Runalyze and Strava calculates the VO2 based on heart bpm etc.
I will have to check that when I get home but it is in the file. Runalyze do a calculation as well but that gives a completely different value. The values I marked in the screenshot is from Garmin and taken from the file.
That would be great! Maybe its the FIT->CSV conversation tool in the SDK which cannot convert that data. Or if its not stored in clean text. Have searched the conversed files for my VO2 Max but cannot find the value anywhere in my files.
Do you know your weight to 2 decimal places?
VO2max = ml/min/kg
How often do you weigh yourself? Every time before a workout? Naked? How long does it take between weighing in and starting a workout? 10-20-30 minutes? Do you think your weight has not changed during this time? Don't do ***. These numbers are nonsense anyway.
Quite a lot of what's in the FIT files isn't in the FIT-SDK documentation and isn't converted by the FIT-CSV tools either. VO2max shows up in two or three places, often as MET which needs scaling to VO2max.
You might find a read of this file interesting
Thanks for your reply. I have found the data in the .FIT file now. Will add it up in my Excel tool.
I want to know how my training affects the VO2 Max and then the decimals are very useful.
I weigh in every day, same procedure. With one decimal ;)
How you win a medal in a competition, then you will find out. In the meantime, this is garbage nobody needs.

VO2max is not a metric that needs to be assessed daily never mind to two decimal places.
I want to see the trend from training to training and that is not possible without the decimals I dont think that this diagram is useful in short term. It works on long term, but not for short term
