Tontow | [code]Round(expression [,numdecimalplaces])[/code] Rounds the number, but you don't have any control over wich direction it rounds. So; What is the best method to always round a decimal number up? What is the best method to always round a decimal number down? (edit; ment round a decimal number eather up or down to a whole number) | June 22, 2005, 12:40 AM |
hismajesty | I don't know if there is a built in thing for this but you could just split the number and if the first number after the decimal is >= 5 then round up the number on the left, else round it down. | June 22, 2005, 1:29 AM |
The-FooL | Use the least integer function. | June 22, 2005, 2:15 AM |

hismajesty | It doesn't always round down. It rounds to nearest even number, Round() utilizes 'Banker's Rounding.' Here, I found this for you. Edit: Arithmetic Rounding: [code] Function RoundIt(f As Double, DecPlaces As Integer) As String If DecPlaces <= 0 Then f = Int(f * (10 ^ DecPlaces) + 0.5) f = f / (10 ^ DecPlaces) RoundIt = f Else RoundIt = Format(f, "#." & Left("00000000000", DecPlaces)) End If End Function [/code] That's from here which also has some other examples (including an oh so efficient 100 line one :P) | June 22, 2005, 1:16 PM |
K | How about this: [code] Dim foo as Double ' Floor: Integer I = Int(foo) ' Ceiling: Integer I = IIf( Int(foo) = foo, foo, Int(foo) + 1) [/code] | June 23, 2005, 1:04 AM |
