Round down to whole from decimal

Hi guys,

 

I am struggling to obtain the whole number by rounding down.

 

So I have the following

Data I haveI need to obtain this result
5,544,857.08115,544,857
-83,654.2524-83,654
5,461,202.82875,461,202
1,164,419.9870311,164,419
-17,567.393004-17,567

 

I tried using FLOOR() and Round([Field]-0.001.1), not working.

 

Any suggestion where I might be wrong.

 

Much appreciated your assistance.

 

Regards,

Dan

Hi @DanielCarro , floor() isn't working for you because your're not always trying to round down. For the negative numbers, you're trying to round up. For example, -83,654.2524 round UP to -83,654, as -83,654 is bigger than -83,655.

 

To get the result you're looking for, try this formula:

 

floor(abs([Data])) * if [Data]<0 then -1 else 1 endif

 

Hope this helps!
