Technically that's not rounding; It's truncating the value to the 2nd decimal place. Rounding to 2 digits of precision for that result should be 26.77. So if you want rounding to two places, you should use ROUND(696/26,2). Otherwise either the FLOOR or the TRANSFORM will do the trick

What is the best way systems round Down ? ROUND(nValue-0.5, 0) INT() and FLOOR() both have issues with numbers very close to the boundary due to the lack of precision with floating point numbers. When you say rounding down you might need to check how to handle negative values. Some customers

You can try this. SET DECIMALS TO 1 more than you're formatting, in your case 3. Then use TRANSFORM(your number,9.99) to get it as a string. As long as the SET DECIMAL is at least 1 more than you're formatting to, it will truncate, not round. Fred On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 3:00
