CLng Function
Converts any string or numeric expression to a long integer.
CLng (Expression As Variant) As Long
Long
Expression: Any string or numeric expression that you want to convert. To convert a string expression, the number must be entered as normal text using the default number format of your LibreOffice locale settings. For instance, the number must be entered using a dot "." as the decimal point and a comma "," as the thousands separator (for instance 123,456.78) for the English locale setting.
If Expression lies outside the valid long integer range between -2.147.483.648 and 2.147.483.647, LibreOffice Basic returns an overflow error.
This function always rounds the fractional part of a number to the nearest integer.
Numeric expressions are displayed according to LibreOffice locale settings:
