IEC61850 - Float32 Variable - Data Type REAL - Unable to use 'Numeric value' element

Hi All, I have been trying to display Float32 variable such as Current and Voltage. However, based on the HELP Section, Tip/Workaround: If you nevertheless want to continue working with the Data type REAL , (such as when there is a limitation of the data types due to the PLC), the bit string of the PLC can be read as DINT instead of REAL. This bit string can be stripped down in zenon Logic with the AND_MASK and OR_MASK function blocks and the components of the REAL value (sign, exponent, fixed-point part) can be extracted. Exact counter values can be extracted from this. May i know is there a way to display these FLOAT32 - REAL variable in the HMI screen without using zenon Logic to process the information as there will be a huge amount of tags to be configured. I have tried to change the variable to LREAL, but the numeric value element does not have any values. Thank you!
