The ROUND function rounds a number value to a specified number of decimal places.
Syntax
| Code Block |
|---|
ROUND number [UP | DOWN] TO POSITION position |
- number - Number or attribute of some type of number to be rounded.
- UP or DOWN - The direction of rounding. The direction DOWN points to zero for both positive and negative values, UP points away from zero. If no direction is specified, rounding will be done to the nearest integer (half-way values will be rounded up).
- position - The rounding position as integer. A positive integer represents the place value of the digit after the decimal point. Zero and negative integers represent the place value of the digit before the decimal point. Place values: [-n]..[-3][-2][-1][0].[1][2][3]..[n]
Return types
- number
- integer
- currency
- percentage

If you prefer a functional syntax, then you can use the ROUNDDOWN or ROUNDUP function. Its syntax is ROUNDDOWN/ROUNDUP ( number, digits ). Example: ROUNDDOWN(1.23456, 2) = 1.23 |
Examples
- ROUND 12345.23 TO POSITION -2 = 12300.0000
- ROUND 12345.23 TO POSITION 1 = 12345.2000
- ROUND 12345.23 UP TO POSITION -2 = 12400
- ROUND 12345.23 UP TO POSITION 1 = 12345.3000
- ROUND 12345.23 DOWN TO POSITION -2 = 12300.0000
- ROUND 12345.23 DOWN TO POSITION 1 = 12345.2000
- ROUND 12345.23 UP TO POSITION -5 = 100000.0000
- ROUND 12345.23 TO POSITION -5 = 0.0000
...
The ROUND TO MULTIPLE function rounds a number value to a specified multiple.
Syntax
| Code Block |
|---|
ROUND number [UP | DOWN] TO MULTIPLE multiple |
- number - Number or attribute of some type of number to be rounded.
- UP or DOWN - The direction of rounding. The direction DOWN points to zero for both positive and negative values, UP points away from zero. If no direction is specified, rounding will be done to the nearest multiple (half-way values will be rounded up).
- multiple - The multiple to be rounded to. This can be both a positive and negative value of any number type.
Return types
- number
- integer
- currency
- percentage
Examples
- ROUND 12345.23 TO MULTIPLE 500 = 12500.0000 of type number
- ROUND 12345.23 TO MULTIPLE 5 = 12345.0000 of type number
- ROUND 12345.23 TO MULTIPLE 0.50 = 12345.0000 of type number
- ROUND 12345.27 TO MULTIPLE 0.50 = 12345.5000 of type number

If you prefer a more functional syntax, you can use the ROUNDSIG, ROUNDSIGDOWN or ROUNSIGUP functions, all with 2 number parameters. |
MULTIPLY
Use the '*' (asterisk) sign to multiply values of some type of number.
Syntax
| Code Block |
|---|
number1 * number2 * ... |
- number1 - First factor; number or attribute of some type of number.
- number2 - Second factor; number or attribute of some type of number.
Return types
- number * number = number
- integer * integer = number
- currency * currency = number
- percentage * percentage = number
- number * integer = number
- integer * number = number
- currency * number = currency
- currency * integer = currency
- percentage * number = percentage
- percentage * integer = percentage
Examples
Suppose the following data model. Attribute Child.pocketMoney is of type currency and has a value of 2.50. Attribute Bonus.standard is of type percentage and has a value of 5.00.
- Child.pocketMoney * 1.00 = 2.50 of type currency
- Child.pocketMoney * 2 = 5.00 of type currency
- 5.00 * 3 = 15.0000 of type number
- Bonus.standard * 5 = 25.00 of type percentage
