Currency Decimal Places

[Former Community Member]

HELP!

I have ready many posts on this subject, and can't figure out why mine won't work - it seems so simple:

I have NumericField1 and NumericField2. I want to multipy the user entered value from NumericField1 by a fixed value (in this case .555) to return a currency rounded up to the nearest cent (hundredths decimal point). I have tried using the field pattern options, but NONE of them will round up, they just return a dollar value with 2 decimal places.

For example:

I enter "307" into NumericField1. This value multiplied by .555 returns $170.385. I want this to display as $170.39, but all I can get is $170.38.

Any help is appreciated!!!

Hi,

the decimal places are rounded by IEEE 754 standard.

See example 25.4 under the following link.

You might overcome this by adding 0.001 to your result.

Such as

NumericField * .555 + 0.001

Thanks for your reply!

However, I cannot download the sample. I get a message that says the file is damaged and cannot be downloaded.

Any other suggestions??

Hi Gene,

You could also use FormCalc's Round function:

$.rawValue = Round(NumericField1.rawValue *.555, 2);

Additional information on the Round function can be found here:

thank you thank you thank you thank you Francis!

I tried (in vain) to get the round function to work before. You're answer was correct!

have a wonderful day!

Hi,

Just posting here so anybody can use it. 12345/1000 = 12.34 not 12.35

Code: 12.34

Floor(ToDouble(@CONTENT4)/1000)+'.'
+Substring( Iif(Length(ToString(Mod(ToDouble(@CONTENT4), 1000)))<=1,LPad(ToString(Mod(ToDouble(@CONTENT4), 1000)),3 ,'00' ),
Iif(Length(ToString(Mod(ToDouble(@CONTENT4), 1000)))=2,LPad(ToString(Mod(ToDouble(@CONTENT4), 1000)),3 ,'0' ),
ToString(Mod(ToDouble(@CONTENT4), 1000)))),1,2 )

Code: 12.35

Round(ToDouble(12345)/1000,2)

Regards,

I think there is an easier solution

12345/1000 on next lower cent: Math.floor(100*(12345/1000))/100   =>> 12.34

12345/1000 on next higher cent: Math.ceil(100*(12345/1000))/100 =>> 12.35
