ROUNDDOWN function

This function is equivalent to the TRUNC function.

tip

The rounding method used by this function is known as rounding towards zero. The magnitude of the resulting number will always be less than or equal to the original number.


Notkun

ROUNDDOWN(Number [; Count])

Number: The number to be rounded down.

Count: Optional parameter that defines the number of decimal places to be kept. The default value is 0 (zero).

Use negative values for Count to round the integer part of the original Number. For example, -1 will round down the first integer number before the decimal separator, -2 will round down the two integer numbers before the decimal separator, and so forth.

note

In LibreOffice, the Count parameter is optional, whereas in Microsoft Excel this parameter is mandatory. When an ODS file contains a call to ROUNDDOWN without the Count parameter and the file is exported to XLS or XLSX formats, the missing argument will automatically be added with value zero to maintain compatibility.
