Not sure just adding 0.5 would give the required result (if I understand the

tresult=round(x+0.5)
With three examples for x say 3.9, 4.0, and 4.1
tresult returns 4, 5 and 5
As the middle number is an integer then I'd guess it doesn't need rounding
up, so the required resu
Check out the trunc function. It only returns the integer part of a number.
if trunc(x)=x then--check the number is an integer
return x
else
return (trunc(x)+1) -- if not then return the next integer
above
end if
I hope this is what you're after !
