Hi guys,

Im having a spot of trouble rounding numbers in Vb. Can anyone tell me how to round numbers down?

eg. I have a number such as 109.62 but this always gets rounded up to 110.
Is there away that I can get it rounded down to 109?

Thanks guys

Berty

I did a very quick check and didn't come up with a suitable built-in function to always round down (but that doesn't mean that there isn't one).

However, you could just compare the rounded value to the unrounded value. If the rounded value is greater (VB rounded up), just subtract 1 from it.

What about this

Number = int(number)

Yep, Int(x) works. I was converting with CInt(), which would round to the nearest instead of just dropping the decimal.

Hi,
you can use the Fix functon

put a command button and a texbox on the form


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim num As Single
num = Text1.Text
Text1.Text = Fix(num)
End sub

Have fun!
