Sum the fields with 6 decimal places - getting only 2 decimal places as output

I used the below script to Sum up a field in a file based on some unique values. But the problem is when it is summing up the units, it is truncating to 2 decimals and not 6 decimals as in the input file (Input file has the units with up to 6 Decimals – Sample data below, when the units in the 2 rows below highlighted in red are added, I only get 2 decimal places 18.34).

Code:
awk -F "|" '{a[$2$3$4$5$6$7]+=$8;}END{for(i in a)print i"|"a[i];}' File1  > File2  
echo File2

Welcome to the forum.

For your problem, try
Code:
awk -F "|" '{a[$2$3$4$5$6$7]+=$8;}END{for(i in a)print i"|"a[i];}' CONVFMT="%.6f" file1

Sum the fields with 6 decimal places - numbers with all zeroes after the decimal is truncated

Thank you for your help. this really works in terms of adding.

But, I have a new problem where if it is all zeroes after the decimal, then it truncated.

for example, if the value is 4.000000, then the result I get is 4.

But I want the output to be 4.000000

use printf instead:
Code:
awk -F "|" '{a[$2$3$4$5$6$7]+=$8;}END{for(i in a)printf("%s%s%.6f\n",  i, OFS, a[i];}' OFS='|' file1
