Round up to Whole Number Using VB Round() Function
The VB round() function, by default rounds to the nearest whole number based on the following: 10.00 through 10.50 = 10 10.51 through 10.99 = 11 There are scenarios where you want to round up all decimal values to the nearest whole number. Based on the above criteria, adding 0.5 to any numeric value with a decimal will cause the round() function to round up. For example: 10.00 + .50 = 10 round(10.5) 10.10 + .50 = 11 round(10.6) 10.90 + .50 = 11 round(11.4) The attached tasks will demonstrate the round() function usage to round up numeric values. |
