Issue/Introduction

When the Unit of measure is set to FTE, the figure entered on Per Period metrics total is not respected if all periods are not displayed and View Options Totals is set to Sum Of Periods.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Login to MUX and on your avatar set Unit of measure to FTE
2. Create a project that spans from 01/01/26 to 12/31/26
3. On the Staff tab > Add a resource
4. View Options, set:
   
   • Periods: Months
   • Type: Periods
   • Start Period: Project Start
   • Finish Period: Project Finish
   • Totals: Sum of Periods
   • Number Decimal Display: Auto
5. On the grid view> Allocations Total add 1 FTE
6. Every period from January to December is populated with 1 FTE
7. Change the View Options Start and Finish periods to 2026-02 - 2026-11
8. On the grid > Allocations Total add 0 FTE
9. On the grid > Allocations Total add 1 FTE

Expected Results: Totals and Allocation Periods to get populated with a 1 FTE
Actual results: Totals and Allocation Periods to get populated with a 0.99537 FTE

Notes: Same behavior occurs in the assignments module and on teh Staffing workspace
